London to host Inaugural 2026 FIFA Women’s Champions Cup final phase

FIFA has confirmed that London will stage the final phase of the first-ever Women’s Champions Cup in early 2026 — a six-team global tournament featuring continental club champions and marking a historic moment for women’s club football.

  • The competition features six clubs, each representing one of FIFA’s continental confederations, with four matches: two semi-finals, a third-place playoff, and the final.
  • The tournament is set to take place from January 28 to February 1, 2026.
  • Arsenal, winners of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, will represent Europe in this global competition.
  • Champions of each confederation (UEFA, CAF, AFC, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, OFC) will be represented. UEFA, CONCACAF, and CONMEBOL champions progress directly to the semi-finals; the AFC, OFC, and CAF champions go through earlier knockout rounds to reach the semis.
