Benfica already knows the schedule for the women's Champions League league phase. The national champions begin their European journey in Italy, against Juventus, on September 22, and finish in Denmark, against HB Køge, on December 16, according to the calendar released by UEFA.

Benfica's third away trip takes place on the third matchday, October 28, with a visit to London to face Arsenal. The English side is one of the main forces in the competition and won the Champions League in 2007 and 2025, having lifted the last trophy precisely in Lisbon.

Along the way, the eagles will also have three matches at the Estádio da Luz. The first home encounter will be against Bayern Munich, on September 30, followed by clashes with Austria Wien on November 11, and Roma on November 19.

Juventus secured their place in the league phase after getting through the qualifiers, where they eliminated Torreense 2-1 in the final of the first eliminatory round.
