Double round-robin group stage of 40 teams

AFC Champions League starts with a double round-robin group stage with all 40 teams being split into 10 groups of four teams apiece. The groups are also divided into two Zones with five West Asian groups and five East Asian groups.

The 10 group winners will automatically qualify for the knockout stage and the three best runner-ups from each Zone advance to the next stage.

Knockout stage

Every team gets a 16-team single-elimination bracket. The matchups will have one home and away match apiece. Whoever wins will qualify for the next round. It all culminates in the Final where only one club emerges victorious.

The favourites ahead of the AFC Champions League

The AFC Champions League has more hype surrounding it now because of the changes in the Asian football format. This is reflected in the favourites for this event. Out of all 40 teams here are the standouts:

• Al-Nassr: With the club’s acquisitions, Al-Nassr can take over Asian football. Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and more are world-class talents and can carry this team to victory. Al-Nassr has also been one of the powerhouses before but they boosted their chances of winning with the recent signings and more investments into the club.
• Al-Hilal: With Neymar Jr.’s injury, most Al-Hilal fans are heartbroken but they don’t have to worry much because they still have one of the best rosters in the AFC CL. This includes Malcom, Rúben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Aleksandar Mitrovic who are all formidable players from Europe’s best leagues.
• Urawa Red Diamonds: Urawa is Japan’s top team and the defending champion of this competition. They are a stacked team with good chemistry within the squad, which will be valuable in a high-pressure competition like the AFC CL. They shine in international competitions, especially with Yusuke Matsuo and Hiroki Sakai leading the way.
