International football competition
The 2022–23 WSE Champions League was the 58th season of Europe's premier club roller hockey tournament organised by World Skate Europe – Rink Hockey, and the first season under the WSE Champions League branding. This season expanded the maximum number of participating teams from 16 to 32, introducing two preliminary rounds prior to the group stage. The knockout stage was contested as a final-eight tournament played at the Pavilhão Municipal José Natário in Viana do Castelo, Portugal from 4 to 7 May 2023.
The final was contested between Porto and Valongo, the fifth to feature two Portuguese sides. Porto won 5–1 to secure the club's third title in the competition, ending a 33-year drought since their last win and a run of 11 consecutive final losses. Italian side Trissino were the defending champions, as a result of their win over Valongo in the 2022 final, but were unable to retain their title after elimination in the quarter-finals by Portuguese side Oliveirense.
Team allocation.
Association ranking.
For the 2022–23 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 2017–18 and the 2021–22 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:
First Qualifying Round.
A total of 16 teams participated, divided into 4 groups of 4 teams by means of a conditional draw so that teams from the same country would not face each other. The teams played in an all-against-all format in a single round, with the team with the lowest ranking in each group hosting the games played between September 30th and October 2nd, 2022. The two best ranked teams from each group advanced to next phase, while the remaining were relegated to the WSE Cup.
Second Qualifying Round.
A total of 16 teams participated: 8 teams that entered this phase and the 8 teams qualified from the previous phase, distributed across 4 groups of 4 teams. The teams played in an all-against-all format in a single round, with the lowest ranked team in each group hosting the games played between December 16th and 18th, 2022. The two best placed in each group qualified for the Group Stage, with the rest being relegated to the WSE Cup.
Group stage.
