The 2004–05 Arab Champions League is the second edition of a new format called Arab Champions League replacing the former Arab Champions Cup and Prince Faysal bin Fahad Tournament for Arab Clubs. The teams represented Arab nations from Africa and Asia. Al-Ittihad Jeddah of Saudi Arabia won the final against CS Sfaxien of Tunisia.

Iraq were to have three representatives; ART invited Al-Talaba and the Iraqi FA designed Erbil SC and Najaf FC (leaders of the Northern and Southern groups when the domestic championship was abandoned in spring 2004), but these two were refused by the Union of Arab Football Associations (ostensibly preferring two Baghdad teams from the Central groups); the Iraqi FA then withdrew all three representatives and were subsequently suspended from the UAFA.

First round

Al-Hussein SC apparently replaced Al-Wehdat SC.
