AFC Champions League Elite Fantasy: What's new? | OneFootball

The return of the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 Fantasy Football is imminent.

While familiar features will make a comeback, new boosters that promise to change the game and a bundle of match day winners' prizes are worth the wait.

The Classics boosters

The Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Wildcard options remain essential tools for fantasy managers. These classic features continue to define the fantasy experience for the 2025/26 season. This year brings additional tactical depth with new boosters.

Introducing the New Boosters

1. Free Hit: You will have an unlimited budget to make unlimited transfers but only apply for one match day. This booster will be unavailable on Matchday 1 and during the Round of 16. After that matchday ends, the team automatically reverts to its exact composition from the previous matchday, before the Free Hit changes.

2. Defensive Diamonds: A game-changer for the Knockout Stage onward, where all defenders and goalkeepers in your starting eleven earn double points, while your captain scores quadruple. This is a significant advantage if your defence holds firm, but be cautious—mistakes will also count double.

3. All Out Attack: Applicable in the League Stage, this boosts double points for all midfielders and forwards, with quadruple points for your captain. This can lead to high scores if your front line delivers, but every missed opportunity is felt even more. Negative points will also be doubled for forwards and midfielders

Bigger Prizes, Better Experience

Every stage of the competition offers worthwhile rewards to motivate participants throughout the competition.

The overall winner will receive a trip for two to the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2026/27 final, which includes flights, accommodations, match tickets, and signed merchandise.

It is notable that only the winner’s expenses such as flights, accommodations and tickets to the final, will be covered. The remaining stage winners and top scorers of each League Stage matchday will also be honoured.

Additionally, an improved user interface will provide a smoother, more engaging experience on both web and mobile platforms.
