The 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League was the 14th edition of the European women's club football championship organised by UEFA. The final was played on 14 May 2015 at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, Berlin, Germany. Unlike recent years in which the Women's Champions League final was held in the same week as the men's Champions League final, the two finals were separated by almost a month, as the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup starts in early June.

German side 1. FFC Frankfurt defeated French side Paris Saint-Germain 2–1 in the final to win a record fourth title.

Association team allocation

A total of 54 teams from 46 UEFA member associations participated in the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League. The ranking based on the UEFA Women's Champions League association coefficient was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1–8 each had two teams qualify.
  • All other associations, should they enter, each had one team qualify.

Since Wolfsburg, the winners of the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League, already qualified through their domestic league, the title holder entry was not used.

Association ranking

For the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2013 UEFA Women's Champions League association coefficient, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2008–09 to 2012–13.

The Czech Republic overtook Austria for eighth place in the UEFA coefficient ranking and thus assured themselves a second entry.

Teams

Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association enters a team and so the exact number of teams in each round can not be determined until the full entry list is known. For this season, the champions and runners-up from associations 1–8 and the champions from associations 9–14 enter the round of 32, while the remaining teams enter the qualifying round.

The following list the teams that qualified and entered this season's competition. Here CH denotes the national champion, RU the national runner-up, Ned 1 and Bel 1 the best placed Belgian and Dutch team in their joint league.

    Qualifying round

    The draw for the qualifying round was held on 26 June 2014. The 32 teams were allocated into four pots based on their 2014 UEFA club coefficients. They were drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that each group must contain one of the eight teams which were pre-selected as hosts.

    In each group, teams played against each other in a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts. The matchdays were 9, 11 and 14 August 2014. The eight group winners and the two runners-up with the best record against the first and third-placed teams in their group advanced to the round of 32.
