Alokasi Tim

46 anggota asosiasi AFC (tidak termasuk anggota asosiasi Kepulauan Mariana Utara) diberi peringkat berdasarkan kinerja tim nasional dan klub mereka selama empat tahun terakhir di AFC kompetisi, dengan alokasi slot untuk edisi 2019 dan 2020 dari kompetisi klub AFC yang ditentukan oleh 2017 peringkat AFC (Entri Manual Artikel 2.3):^[2]

Asosiasi dibagi menjadi dua wilayah:
- Wilayah Barat terdiri dari asosiasi dari Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Barat (WAFF), Asosiasi Sepak Bola Asia Tengah (CAFA), dan [[Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Selatan] ] (SAFF).
- Wilayah Timur terdiri dari asosiasi dari Federasi Sepak Bola ASEAN (AFF) dan Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Timur (EAFF).
Di setiap wilayah, ada empat grup di babak grup, termasuk total 12 slot langsung, dengan 4 slot yang tersisa diisi melalui play-off.
12 asosiasi teratas di masing-masing wilayah sesuai peringkat AFC memenuhi syarat untuk memasuki Liga Champions AFC, selama mereka memenuhi kriteria Liga Champions AFC.
Enam asosiasi teratas di masing-masing wilayah mendapatkan setidaknya satu slot langsung di babak grup, sedangkan asosiasi lainnya hanya mendapatkan slot play-off (serta Piala AFC slot tahap grup):
- Asosiasi yang menempati peringkat 1 dan 2 masing-masing mendapatkan tiga slot langsung dan satu slot play-off.
- Asosiasi yang berada di peringkat 3 dan 4 masing-masing mendapatkan dua slot langsung dan dua slot play-off.
- Asosiasi yang berada di peringkat 5 masing-masing mendapatkan satu slot langsung dan dua slot play-off.
- Asosiasi yang berada di peringkat 6 masing-masing mendapatkan satu slot langsung dan satu slot play-off.
- Asosiasi yang berada di peringkat 7 hingga 12 masing-masing mendapatkan satu slot play-off.
Jumlah maksimum slot untuk setiap asosiasi adalah sepertiga dari jumlah total tim yang memenuhi syarat di divisi teratas.
Jika ada asosiasi yang melepaskan slot langsungnya, mereka didistribusikan kembali ke asosiasi yang memenuhi syarat tertinggi, dengan masing-masing asosiasi dibatasi hingga maksimum tiga slot langsung.
Jika ada asosiasi yang melepaskan slot play-offnya, mereka dibatalkan dan tidak didistribusikan ke asosiasi lain.

Untuk Liga Champions AFC 2019, asosiasi dialokasikan slot sesuai dengan peringkat asosiasi yang diterbitkan pada 15 Desember 2017,^[3]

Notes

^ Bahrain (BHR): Bahrain did not have any teams which had an AFC Champions League license.^[4]
^ Syria (SYR): Syria did not implement the AFC Champions League club licensing system.^[4]
