Distribution

Due to the suspension of Russia, the following changes to the access list were made:

• The champions of associations 29 (Poland) entered the second qualifying round (Champions Path) instead of the first qualifying round (Champions Path).

As the Champions League title holders (Arsenal) qualified for the third qualifying round (League Path) via their domestic league's standard berth allocation, the following changes to the default access list were made:

• BK Häcken as the club with the highest club coefficient that would otherwise have entered the second qualifying round (League Path), entered the third qualifying round (League Path) instead.

Since this season marked the inaugural edition of the UEFA Women's Europa Cup, with no title holders from previous season, the following changes to the default access list were made:

• St. Pölten as the club with the highest club coefficient that would otherwise have entered the second qualifying round (Champions Path), entered the third qualifying round (Champions Path).
• Gintra as the club with the highest club coefficient that would otherwise have entered the first qualifying round (Champions Path), entered the second qualifying round (Champions Path).

Teams

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:

• TH: Title holders
• 1st, 2nd, 3rd: League positions of the previous season

Two qualifying rounds, round 2 and round 3, were divided into Champions Path (CH) and League Path (LP).
