The tournament is contested by a total of 37 teams from Asia and Africa.

Founded in 1981, the tournament was held alongside the Arab Cup Winners' Cup and the Arab Super Cup throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, until the Cup Winners' Cup and Super Cup were merged with the Champions Cup in 2002. The tournament's first champions were Iraqi club Al-Shorta, who defeated Lebanese side Nejmeh in the final over two legs in 1982.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/arabchamp.html|title=Arab Club Champions Cup|website=RSSSF|access-date=2 February 2023|archive-date=23 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220923155511/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/arabchamp.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Saudi Arabian clubs have accumulated the most victories, with nine wins. The title has been won by 20 clubs, eight of which have won the title more than once. Since the tournament was merged with the Cup Winners' Cup, only ES Sétif of Algeria have managed consecutive wins, successfully defending their title in 2008. Iraqi club Al-Rasheed and Tunisian side Espérance de Tunis share the record for most titles, with three each. The reigning champions are Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, who won their first title in 2023.

The next two editions of the tournament will be held in 2027 (from 21 July to 7 August) and in 2029 (from 25 July to 11 August).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://uafa-ac.com/20113/|title=“مجلس الاتحاد العربي” يستقبل طلبات استضافة البطولات العربية|publisher=Union of Arab Football Associations|date=14 September 2025|language=ar}}</ref>
