Other live picks will include both legs of one semi-final and four games from earlier in the competition.
The best moments from other fixtures will also be available across BBC Sport’s digital platforms and social media.
It comes as part of a new five-year deal with UEFA for the elite competition.
The first live match broadcast will see Manchester United face Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford on November 12.
That will be followed by a clash between Chelsea and Barcelona on November 20 at Stamford Bridge.
BBC Director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski said: “This is a great moment for women’s football and for BBC Sport.
“Bringing the Uefa Women’s Champions League to a free-to-air audience is huge, but what makes this truly game-changing is our digital offering.
“Our multi-platform strategy means fans won’t just watch the biggest games live on TV, they’ll experience the best moments, goals and highlights across our website, app and social media platforms.

“We’re making the competition more accessible, more visible and more connected than ever before.”
The news came just hours after it was revealed that BBC Sport had lost the rights to the annual Boat Race between Cambridge and Oxford.
Disney+ this year secured the rights to broadcast all Women’s Champions League games for the next five seasons.
The streaming service will show all 75 matches across Europe, starting from next week.
Coverage will be produced by ESPN – Disney’s multi-platform sports brand.
Arsenal won the competition last season after beating serial champions Barcelona 1-0 in the final.
