Does the winner qualify for next season's competition?

YES, whoever wins the final will definitely secure a place in next year's Champions League.

If the winner finishes in a qualifying place in their respective leagues, then things gets a little more complicated.

New rules for the 2018/19 season dictate that: "If the UEFA Champions League holders have qualified for the group stage via their domestic championship, the vacancy will be filled by the champions of the association ranked 11th (Czech Republic), who otherwise compete in qualifying."
