The AFC Club Competitions Ranking is based on the performance in AFC club competitions in the last 8 seasons. The points will be totalled with weighted formula, with more emphasis on recent seasons' results. The AFC Club Competitions in 2020 shall not be included in the overall ranking calculation due to the cancellation of the remaining matches in the AFC Cup 2020 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
