2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round

The 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round was played between 7 and 13 August 2019. A total of 40 teams competed in the qualifying round to decide 10 of the 32 places in the knockout phase of the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League.

Draw The draw of the qualifying round was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on 21 June 2019, 13:30 CEST. The 40 teams were allocated into four seeding positions based on their UEFA women's club coefficients at the beginning of the season. They were drawn into ten groups of four containing one team from each of the four seeding positions. First, the ten teams which were pre-selected as hosts were drawn from their own designated pot and allocated to their respective group as per their seeding positions. Next, the remaining 30 teams were drawn from their respective pot which are allocated according to their seeding positions.

Based on the decision taken by the UEFA Emergency Panel at its meeting in Paris on 9 June 2016, teams from Serbia or Bosnia and Herzegovina would not be drawn against teams from Kosovo.

Below are the 40 teams which participated in the qualifying round (with their 2019 UEFA women's club coefficients, which take into account their performance in European competitions from 2014–15 to 2018–19 plus 33% of their association coefficient from the same time span), with the ten teams which are pre-selected as hosts marked by (H).
