The AFC Futsal Asian Cup, previously the AFC Futsal Championship, is the premier international futsal competition for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) national teams. It was first held in 1999 and was played annually until 2008; since then it has been played biennially. From 2021, the tournament was rebranded from the AFC Futsal Championship to the AFC Futsal Asian Cup. The competition in a year divisible by four from 2000 to 2028 also serves as the qualification for the FIFA Futsal World Cup (a standalone qualifier for the World Cup will be held starting from the 2032 edition onwards). There are 47 countries and territories that are permitted to compete for qualification into the tournament.

Iran and Japan are the dominant nations being the only two nations to have won the tournament, and Iran is the only nation to have never finished outside the top three. Iran, champions of 13 of the 17 editions of the competition, won 7 straight editions before their streak was broken by Japan. Iran are the current reigning champions, having won the tournament in 2024.
