Champions League 1

The IFCF Champions League 1 was the seventy-fourth edition of the multiverse's premier club football tournament, and the first under the current IFCF Champions League title and organized by the International Federation of Club Football (IFCF).

The winners of the competition, 1830 Cathair from Audioslavia qualified for the IFCF Super Cup 1 after beating Brenecia's Northern Stallions in the final, played at Farham Arena in Sabrefell, Nephara.

Sabrefell Moths, as the most recent Champions’ Cup winners, were the defending champions, but were eliminated by eventual runners-up Northern Stallions in the semi-finals.

Association team allocation
The association ranking based on the IFCF country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
 * Associations 1–4 each had four teams qualify.
 * Associations 5–8 each had three teams qualify.
 * Associations 9–32 each had two teams qualify.
 * Associations 33 and below, including unranked associations, each had one team qualify.
 * The winners of the UICA Champions’ Cup 73 and UICA Globe Cup 70 were each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the competition through their domestic league.

Group stage
The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles:


 * Pot 1 contained the Champions Cup and Globe Cup title holders, and the champions of the top six associations based on their IFCF nation coefficients. If one or both title holders were one of the champions of the top six associations, the champions of the next highest ranked association(s) would also be seeded into Pot 1.
 * Pot 2, 3 and 4 contained the remaining teams, seeded based on their IFCF club coefficients.

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 16, while the third-placed teams entered the IFCF Challenger’s Cup round of 32.

The youth teams of the clubs that qualified for the group stage also participated in the IFCF Rising Stars Cup 1 on the same matchdays, where they competed in the IFCF Champions League Path (the youth domestic champions of associations entering that competition other than those already qualified for the Champions League group stage competed in a separate Youth Champions' Path until the play-offs).

Group B

 * Northern Stallions ahead of Black Hawks NFX on overall goal difference.

Group E

 * Manat FK ahead of Jungle Strike FC on head-to-head points: Manat FK 4, Jungle Strike FC 1.

Group F

 * Wanda Island Wanderers ahead of Sabrefell Moths on head-to-head points: Wanda Island Wanderers 4, Sabrefell Moths 1.

Knockout stage
In the knockout phase, teams played against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:


 * In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners were seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
 * In the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other.
