AFC club competitions ranking

The AFC club competitions ranking is a ranking system launched by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 2014. It was initially launched by the AFC to provide an informative ranking, rather than to determine the number of places each country would be allocated in its club competitions.

In 2024, the AFC announced changes in the format for ranking the three revamped Club competitions – AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE), AFC Champions League Two (ACL2), AFC Challenge League (ACGL) – which would come into effect from the 2024–25 season. Using a weighted formula, the current structure takes into account the results of clubs from each member association from the past eight seasons.

Following the conclusion of the inaugural AFC Women's Champions League, the AFC introduced a ranking system for women's club competitions. This ranking system takes into account the results of clubs from each member association (70%), and each member associations FIFA Women's World Ranking (30%). This system came into effect from the 2025–26 season.
