The 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League knockout phase began on 5 October 2016 and will conclude on 1 June 2017 with the final at the Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which will decide the champions of the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League. A total of 32 teams compete in the knockout phase.
Times from 30 October 2016 up to 25 March 2017 (round of 16 and quarter-finals first legs) are CET (UTC+1), all other times are CEST (UTC+2).
The schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).
The knockout phase involves 32 teams: 23 teams which qualified directly, and the nine group winners from the qualifying round.
Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e. if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out. In the final, which is played as a single match, if scores are level at the end of normal time, extra time is played, followed by penalty shoot-out if scores remain tied.
