2022–23 WSE Champions League
The 2022–23 WSE Champions League was the 56th 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:
