The 2004–05 Arab Champions League is the second edition of a new format called Arab Champions League replacing the former Arab Unified Club Championship. The teams represented Arab nations from Africa and Asia. Al-Ittihad Jeddah of Saudi Arabia won the final against CS Sfaxien of Tunisia.

The Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) decided that Iraq would have only one representative team participating in the tournament, with the competition's sponsor ART inviting Al-Talaba to compete. The Iraqi FA refused to submit any clubs for the tournament unless UAFA allowed three teams from Iraq to participate. Four other countries had three participants: Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi FA nominated Erbil SC and Najaf FC (leaders of the Northern and Southern groups when the domestic championship was abandoned in spring 2004) to be the other two teams, but UAFA refused the Iraqi FA's request to allow these two teams to participate. The Iraqi FA then withdrew Al-Talaba from the tournament and were subsequently suspended from UAFA.

First round

Al-Hussein SC apparently replaced Al-Wehdat SC.
