The first two matches will be played in the home stadium of a team involved in each match, and the final four matches will be played in Miami, United States.[2] However, no club from the United States will participate as, after the host announcement, Mexican club América won the W Champions Cup by beating two NWSL clubs in the finals.[3]
Arsenal is the defending champion, but they will not be able to defend their title after being eliminated by Lyon in the semi-finals of the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League.[4]
