The 2027 FIFA Women's Champions Cup will be the second edition of the FIFA Women's Champions Cup, an annual club association football tournament organized by FIFA. The tournament features the champion clubs from each of the six continental confederations, playing each other in a single-elimination bracket, to determine the world's premier women's club team.[1]

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]

Format

The six FIFA continental confederations have one representative each. They are the teams crowned continental club champions in 2026.[1] Seeding was based on results from the 2026 Champions Cup.[5]
