Season Insights

The 2025/26 ACL Elite is the 44th edition of Asia’s top club tournament, but only the second under the “Elite” branding. Only 24 teams participate in the competition proper, split evenly across the West and East regions.

Each region’s 12 teams compete in a league-style phase: each team plays 8 matches (some home, some away) against different opponents within its region.

When the league phase ends, the top 8 teams from each region advance to the classic Round of 16. From this round onwards, the competition shifts to a knockout style competition, with the initial home-and-away double round robin fixtures, then leading to the Quarter finals, Semi finals, and finally the grand finale, the Finals. The fixtures from the quarterfinals onwards will be played as single-leg matches in a centralised Saudi hub, combining drama with a logistical spectacle.

The winner of ACL Elite earns multiple rewards:

• Qualification for the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
• Entry into the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.
• If not already qualified via the domestic league, they gain automatic entry into the 2026/27 ACL Elite league stage.

As the competition condenses Asia’s top clubs into fewer slots, each match carries immense weight and global interest.

Ticket Costs & Prize Money

Ticket pricing for ACL Elite matches varies greatly depending on region, stadium, opponent, and seating category. Premium matches involving heavyweights often command a sharp premium over regular domestic pricing.

In parallel, the prize money envelope for ACL Elite is record-breaking: winners will collect a base prize in the multi-million dollar range, reflecting Asia’s push to match other continental competitions.

This reward structure elevates every tie—from group stage to final—making them more competitive, intense, and valuable for clubs and fans alike.
