History

The concept of an Asian women's club competition was first recommended in 2018. The inaugural championship in 2019 was held as a round-robin tournament among four teams from the east region. This was followed by the 2021 championship among four teams from the west region.

From 2024–25, the AFC Women's Champions League will feature twelve teams in a group stage followed by a knockout stage. Each association gets one team to enter.

Key principles for the new competition were released by the AFC on 20 August 2023. In the first four seasons, there will be one entry per participating member association, with allocation based on the FIFA ranking of participating member associations up to 2027–28. Thereafter, an AFC Women's Club Competition Ranking will be used.
