List of clubs qualified for UEFA Champions League 2023-24 season
26 teams get a direct entry to the group stage
The league football season for 2022–23 is nearing its end in Europe. Most of the major leagues have a winner, while others are yet to be decided. Other than winning the league, the teams also focus on another major goal. That goal is to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. A total of 32 teams across Europe make it to the elite competition. Some teams get automatic qualification, while others have to battle for their spot.
78 teams will participate in the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League season. There are 55 UEFA member associations and 53 will be participating in next year's edition. Each associated nation has a different ranking and the participation depends upon the ranking system.
England, Spain, Italy, and Germany are the top four nations in the standings. They are ranked in a similar fashion. These nations have four representatives each. France and Portugal are ranked fifth and sixth. They have three teams. Netherlands, Austria, Scotland, Serbia, Ukraine, Belgium, Switzerland, and Greece have two participants each. All the remaining nations have one participant.
There is a long qualification for some teams, while others get a direct entry depending on their league position. The first four ranked nations have an advantage. All the top four teams from these nations make it to the UEFA Champions League. Other than this, seven winners from the next seven ranked nations get a direct entry. The runners-up from fifth and sixth-ranked nations also get a direct route. Winning the Europa League in the previous season also guarantees a place in the UEFA Champions League.
