2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League knockout phase
The 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League knockout phase began on 11 September 2019 with the round of 32 and ended with the final on 30 August 2020 at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián, Spain, to decide the champions of the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League.[1][2] A total of 32 teams competed in the knockout phase.[3] Times are CET/CEST,[note 1] as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses). Qualified teamsThe knockout phase involved 32 teams: 22 teams which received a bye, and the ten teams which advanced from the qualifying round (ten group winners).[4] Below are the 32 teams which participated in the knockout phase (with their 2019 UEFA women's club coefficients, which take into account their performance in European competitions from 2014–15 to 2018–19 plus 33% of their association coefficient from the same time span).[5]
FormatEach tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if the score was level at the end of normal time, extra time would be played, followed by penalty shoot-out if the score remained tied.[3] The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
On 17 June 2020, UEFA announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the final stages of the competition would feature a format change.

The matches were played behind closed doors.[6] ScheduleThe schedule of the knockout phase was as follows (all draws are held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).[1][6] The competition was postponed indefinitely on 17 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.[7] The final, originally scheduled to be played on 24 May 2020 at the Viola Park, Vienna, was officially postponed on 23 March 2020.[8] A working group was set up by UEFA to decide the calendar of the remainder of the season,[9] with the final decision made at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting on 17 June 2020.[10][11]
