TheAFC Champions League Two (abbreviated as theACL Two orACL2) is an annualcontinental clubfootball competition organised by theAsian Football Confederation. It is the second-tier competition of Asian club football, ranked below theAFC Champions League Elite and above theAFC Challenge League.

The competition was founded in 2004 as the AFC Cup, it was played primarily among clubs from nations that did not receive direct qualifying slots to the top-tier AFC Champions League. The competition rebranded to its current name in2024. In a bid to increase competitivenes, its format was also changed to include clubs from higher ranked AFC member associations. The prize money was also increased.

Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in national leagues and cup competitions. Participation in the competition is open to clubs from the top 12 nations in theEast and theWest region based on theAFC club competitions ranking. The participant from each nation ranked 1–6 in each region is the highest-placed club in that nation that did not qualify for the AFC Champions League Elite. The nations ranked 7–12 in each region enter their top club(s) directly to the AFC Champions League Two.

The winner of the AFC Champions League Two will be allocated an indirect preliminary stage slot for the next AFC Champions League Elite season, if they have not already qualified through domestic competition. The current champions the competition isCentral Coast Mariners, who defeatedAl-Ahed in the2024 final.Al-Kuwait andAl-Quwa Al-Jawiya are the most successful clubs in the competition's history, having won three titles each.

The AFC Cup began in 2004 as a second-tier competition to relate back to theAFC Champions League, as 14 countries that had developing status competed in the first competition, with 18 teams being nominated. The winners and three runners-up would then head to the knock-out stage.Al-Jaish took the first AFC Cup after they defeated fellow Syrian opponentsAl-Wahda on away goals.

In 2005, 18 teams competed from nine nations with the nations still being allowed to choose from one or two teams entering. After Syrian teams left the AFC Cup to try at the AFC Champions League for four years,Al-Faisaly defeatedNejmeh in the final. With it, Jordanian teams would win the next two AFC Cup seasons with Bahrain joining the league while Bangladesh was relegated to theAFC President's Cup until the tournament's abolition in 2014.

Al-Muharraq would break the trend in 2008 as they won the last two-legged final before it headed back into a one-leg system, a rule that was never changed until now.

On 23 December 2022, it was announced that the AFC competition structure would change from the established formats from the 2024–25 season. A new second-tier tournament called the AFC Champions League Two would be introduced.[1] Meanwhile, a new third-tier competition was also launched under the nameAFC Challenge League.[2][3][4]

On 24 May 2024, AFC announced that the records and statistics of the preceding AFC club competitions will be recognised and integrated within the revamped club competitions, with the data from the AFC Cup transferring to the AFC Champions League Two, despite being entirely different competitions.[5]
