2025–26 UEFA Women's Europa Cup

The 2025–26 UEFA Women's Europa Cup was the inaugural season of the UEFA Women's Europa Cup, Europe's secondary women's club football tournament organised by UEFA. The competition featured a straight knockout format, with every round played as a two-legged home-and-away tie.

Association team allocation
The association ranking based on the UEFA women's country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: • Associations 8–13 and 18–24 (excluding Russia) each have one team qualify directly. • 31 teams eliminated from the 2025–26 Women's Champions League qualifying rounds were transferred to the Europa Cup. An association must have an eleven-a-side women's domestic league to enter a team. As of 2019–20, 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations organize women's domestic leagues, with the exceptions being Andorra (1 club in Spain), Liechtenstein (3 clubs in Switzerland) and San Marino (1 club in Italy).
