The 2024–25 ASEAN Club Championship (or the 2024–25 ACC), known as the 2024–25 Shopee Cup due to sponsorship reasons, was the third edition of the ASEAN Club Championship, an international football competition between clubs affiliated with the ASEAN Football Federation. It was the first competition since 2005. The revival of the ASEAN Club Championship was proposed to the Asian Football Confederation in 2019, but was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. A further attempt to resurrect the competition was made in 2023, but that was cancelled due to overlapping competition schedules from other competitions (2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round and 2023 AFC Asian Cup).
The tournament was launched on 4 April 2024, with games played from 17 July 2024 to 21 May 2025. Osmar Loss's Buriram United defeated Alexandré Pölking's Cong An Hanoi 3–2 on penalties (5–5 after extra time by aggregate) in the final, which was held at the both Hàng Đẫy Stadium, in Hanoi, Vietnam and Chang Arena, in Buriram, Thailand, to win their first ASEAN Club Championship title. As winners of the ASEAN Club Championship, Buriram United automatically qualified for the 2025–26 ASEAN Club Championship group stage. Buriram United became the first Thai side to win the ASEAN Club Championship. Tampines Rovers were the defending champions of the previous edition, but they failed to qualify after being eliminated by Lion City Sailors from the 2023 Singapore Cup.
Association team allocation Clubs from all twelve member football associations of the ASEAN Football Federation were eligible to enter the competition; Australia and Timor Leste did not enter.
