The competition system will still be implemented in the AFC Champions League group stage in the 2022 season. The AFC has previously stated that this will be the last time the AFC Champions League will use the competition system. This season, the number of entries in the Super League is still 3+ 1, that is, three teams are directly short-listed in the group stage, China double champion Taishan, Asian double champion Shanghai Port and third runner-up Guangzhou team enter the competition, Changchun Yatai enters the qualifying competition, and Yatai's qualifying opponents will be produced between an Australian team and Philippine team Kaya.
