Each national football associations in Southeast Asia sends their champions club representing the domestic league winners. The participating teams are split into two groups of four teams (depending on the actual number of participating teams in each group), with each team playing the others in the group in a round-robin format. The winners and runners-up of each group enter into the semi-finals. The semi-finals and final are played as a knockout competition in the host country.
