Asia Champions League 2025 (ACL 2025)

Article by: Shivam

The Asia Champions League 2025 (ACL 2025) is set to be an exciting competition featuring top esports teams from Japan, India, and Southeast Asia (SEA). Scheduled to kick off in the second week of November 2024, the league promises thrilling action across multiple regions, culminating in a grand final in March 2025.

Key Dates:

- League Start:: 2nd Week of November 2024

- League End: 3rd Week of February 2025

- Finals: March 2025 in Japan

Format and Structure:

ACL 2025 will feature a group stage lasting seven days, followed by single-elimination playoffs based on the group stage rankings. This system will culminate in the top 4 teams from each region—India, SEA, and Japan—earning invitations to the ACL Finals. The finals will see the best 16 teams competing for the title of ACL Champion.

In addition to the top 4 teams from each region, the **winner of the Japanese Winter Tournament** will also secure a spot in the finals, although this raises some confusion about the total number of finalists. While 16 teams are mentioned in the initial details, the inclusion of the Winter Tournament winner would seemingly bring the total to 17.

The following teams from Japan have received invitations to participate in the league:

- AXIZ

- FENNEL

- INSOMNIA

- Nagoya OJA

- REJECT

- Sengoku Gaming

These teams will battle for regional dominance and the chance to represent Japan in the ACL Finals.
