This was the first season under a new format, which had 18 participating teams, playing six games each against different opponents in a league phase, all in a joint group. The winners automatically qualified for the 2026–27 UEFA Women's Champions League league phase, the 2027 FIFA Women's Champions Cup semi-finals and the 2028 FIFA Women's Club World Cup.

Arsenal were the defending champions, but were eliminated by OL Lyonnes in the semi-finals.
