Team allocation

Association ranking

For the 2023–24 WSE Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their coefficient, which takes into account the performance of each association's representative teams in European competitions between the 2018–19 and the 2022–23 seasons (except for the 2019–20 season, which was discarded due to being interrupted). The coefficient is calculated by dividing the total of points accumulated by the number of participating teams.

The D'Hondt method was applied to the coefficient of each association to determine the number of teams entering in each round:

1st qualifying round  PRT SC Tomar  ESP Igualada  ESP Lleida  ITA Follonica Hockey
 ITA Sarzana  ITA Grosseto  ITA Valdagno  FRA CS Noisy
 FRA US Coutras  FRA La Vendéenne   SWI SC Thunerstern  GER SK Germania Herringen
