2020–21 UEFA Futsal Champions League
The 2020–21 UEFA Futsal Champions League will be the 35th edition of Europe's premier club futsal tournament, and the 20th edition organized by UEFA. It will also be the third edition since the tournament was rebranded from "UEFA Futsal Cup" to "UEFA Futsal Champions League".
The final tournament will be held at the Minsk Arena in Minsk, Belarus. The venue was originally appointed to host the 2020 final tournament, but on 17 June 2020, the UEFA Executive Committee chose to relocate the 2020 finals to Palau Blaugrana, Barcelona, Spain due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, and Minsk will instead host the following season's finals in April 2021.
Association team allocation
A maximum of 59 teams may participate in the 2020–21 UEFA Futsal Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA futsal national team coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:- The top three-ranked associations can enter two teams.
- The winners of the 2019–20 UEFA Futsal Champions League qualify automatically, and thus their association can also enter a second team. If they are from the top three-ranked associations, the fourth-ranked association can also enter two teams.
- All other associations can enter one team.
Distribution
Teams are ranked according to their UEFA futsal club coefficients, computed based on results of the last three seasons, to decide on the round they enter, as well as their seeding position in the preliminary round and main round draws.The following is the access list for this season.
