AFC Champions League atau Liga Champions Asia tak diragukan lagi menjadi ajang sepakbola antarklub tertinggi di benua Asia.
Dimulai sejak 1967, turnamen ini awalnya bernama Kejuaraan Klub Asia sebelum berganti nama menjadi Liga Champions Asia pada musim 2002/03.
Sepanjang sejarah kompetisi ini, Al-Hilal (Arab Saudi) dan Pohang Steelers (Korea Selatan) merupakan pemegang gelar terbanyak dengan tiga gelar.
Meski demikian, Liga Champions Asia musim ini terpaksa terhenti sementara akibat pandemi virus corona yang melanda hampir di seluruh dunia. Liga Champions Asia 2020 sendiri baru memasuki fase grup sebelum mengalami penundaan tersebut.
