The final phase of the 2027 FIFA Women's Champions Cup will take place at Nu Stadium, the new home of Inter Miami CF. Four leading women's clubs will compete for the inaugural intercontinental title from January 29-31. The semi-finals, bronze-medal match, and final will be held over three days. This event brings together reigning champions from six continental confederations to determine the world's leading women's club side.
Mexico's Club América Femenil and UEFA Women's Champions League holders FC Barcelona Femení have secured places in the final phase. The CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina champions and the winners of the CAF/AFC/OFC qualification route will complete the four-team field. The competition will feature top women's clubs from around the world. Club América Femenil and FC Barcelona Femení are among the top contenders.
Before the tournament moves to Miami, the opening round will see AFC Women's Champions League holders Naegohyang Women's FC face OFC Women's Champions League winners Auckland United FC. The winners will then meet the CAF Women's Champions League holders in the second round. The victor will advance to Miami and join the already qualified teams. The early rounds will determine the final two teams.
In the semi-finals, the Round 2 winners will face Concacaf champions Club América Femenil, while Barcelona will take on the CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina winners. The tournament will culminate in the bronze final followed by the trophy decider on January 31. A detailed fixture schedule will be released by FIFA later. The semi-finals and final will be held over two days.
FIFA Chief Football Officer Jill Ellis stated that the competition was created to provide a regular platform for global competition among leading women's clubs. The FIFA Women's Champions Cup was approved by the FIFA Council in May 2024. It is held in years when the FIFA Women's Club World Cup is not scheduled. The event aims to promote women's football globally.
Miami has hosted major FIFA events, including eight matches at last year's FIFA Club World Cup and seven matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Inter Miami CF and Nu Stadium Chief Revenue Officer Iñigo Aznar said hosting the competition represented another step in establishing Miami as a major international sporting destination. Nu Stadium, which opened in April, will host the final phase.
The 2027 tournament will crown a new champion when leading continental clubs converge on Miami. Arsenal Women FC won the inaugural edition last year after defeating Barcelona in the final in London. With Barcelona and Club América already qualified, attention now turns to the remaining continental competitions that will determine the final two contenders for the title.
