After completion of the round of 16 and before the quarter-finals, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition. Such registrations must be completed by 1 February 2027 (23:59 CET) at the latest.
Exceptionally and without prejudice to Paragraph 28.01, clubs participating in domestic championships that start and end in the same calendar year are entitled to additional player registrations in the following cases:
-
If more than five players on the club's List A are no longer registered with their national association as playing for the club concerned after the round of 16 and before the quarter-finals, the club may register one additional player, i.e. a total of four new eligible players, for the remaining matches in the current competition.
-
If more than seven players on the club's List A are no longer registered with their national association as playing for the club concerned after the round of 16 and before the quarter-finals, the club may register two additional players, i.e. a total of five new eligible players, for the remaining matches in the current competition.
Such exceptional registrations must be completed by 1 February 2027 (23:59 CET) at the latest.
Any or all of the players from the above quota may have been fielded for another club in the qualifying phase or the league phase of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, or the qualifying phase or the round of 16 of the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup.
If the registration of such new players causes the number of players on List A to exceed 25, the club must remove the necessary number of currently registered players to reduce the List A to 25 players again. The quota of locally trained players must be respected when registering new players.
