2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League knockout phase

The 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League knockout phase began on 26 September 2012 and concluded on 23 May 2013 with the final at Stamford Bridge, London, England to decide the champions of the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League. A total of 32 teams competed in the knockout phase. == Round and draw dates == UEFA has scheduled the competition as follows. == Format == The knockout phase involved 32 teams: 22 teams which qualified directly, and 10 teams which qualified from the qualifying round (eight group winners and two best runners-up). Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time were played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if scores remained tied. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows: In the draw for the round of 32, 16 teams were seeded and 16 teams were unseeded, based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other. In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other. == Qualified teams == The top 16 ranked teams are seeded for the round of 32.
