European soccer's governing body said Metalist, who are already playing in the third qualifying round of this season's competition, would face a hearing on August 13.
"Proceedings have been opened against Metalist under articles ... of the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League regulations, regarding the admission criteria for participation in UEFA competitions," said UEFA in a statement.
Metalist, runners-up in last season's Ukrainian Premier League, won 2-0 at PAOK Salonika in the first leg of their third round qualifying tie last week and host the return on Wednesday.
