The 2023–24 UEFA Futsal Champions League was the 38th edition of Europe's premier club futsal tournament, and the 23rd edition organized by UEFA. It is also the sixth edition since the tournament was rebranded from "UEFA Futsal Cup" to UEFA Futsal Champions League. The final tournament was taken place at the Karen Demirchyan Complex in Yerevan, Armenia on 3–5 May 2024.
Palma Futsal are the title holders.
A total of 55 teams from 51 of the 55 UEFA member associations will participate in the 2023–24 UEFA Futsal Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA futsal national team coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
For this season, the top three-ranked associations are Portugal, Russia, and Spain. As the title holders are from Spain, the 4th ranked association, Kazakhstan, can enter two teams. After UEFA's decision to exclude Russian clubs from all UEFA competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,[1] the right to enter a second team passed to the 5th ranked association, Croatia.[2]
The UEFA futsal national team coefficients at the end of April 2023, used to determine the number of teams each association was entitled to enter, was as follows.[3]

The tournament has a mini-tournament format consisting of three qualifying rounds and the final tournament. The qualifying rounds consisted of the following stages:[2] [5]
In each group, teams played against each other in a single round-robin format hosted by one of the participating teams.
The final tournament is played at a centralized location and consisted of single-legged semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and final. If scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the scores remained tied.
Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see Article 14 Equality of points – mini-tournaments, Regulations of the UEFA Futsal Champions League):[5]
If two teams that have the same number of points and have scored and conceded the same number of goals play their last mini-tournament match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings are determined by a penalty shoot-out provided that no other teams within the group have the same number of points on completion of the mini-tournament. This procedure is only necessary if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the team which qualifies for the next stage.
The schedule of the competition was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).[2]
