Group stage

2025–26 ASEAN Club Championship

At the draw on 4 July 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand, fourteen teams were drawn into two groups of seven. Teams from the same association were not placed in the same group, with the exception of Thailand, where a maximum of two Thai teams (one being the title holder) can be placed in the same group. The group stage is a single round-robin format.

Initially, the top four teams from each group advance to a quarter-final stage. However, following the withdrawal of Indonesian teams, the quarter-finals were removed; only the top two teams will qualify for the semi-finals.
