The 2024 Chinese Champions League, officially known as the Sino-LAC Sports 2024 Chinese Football Association Member Association Champions League (Chinese: 中拉体育2024中国足球协会会员协会冠军联赛) for sponsorship reasons, is the 23rd season of the fourth-tier competition in Chinese football since its establishment in 2002, as well as the 7th season under its current Chinese Champions League (CMCL) title since its rebrand in 2018.
The season began on 27 April 2024.
Format
61 of the 71 teams (originally 75 nominated) are drawn into sixteen groups split into eight centralised host regions. The remaining ten teams are then divided into three qualifying groups to fill up the remaining three spots in the final 64 teams that make up the Regional Tournament.
In the Regional Tournament, the top two-placed teams in each group of a centralised region are placed in a qualifying group. They will then play the two teams originally from the other group from the same host region. The top two teams from each host region progress to the Final Round. The third-placed team in each original group are to play the third-placed team from the other group in the same host region, while the fourth-placed team in each original group are to play the fourth-placed team from the other group in the same host region, finalising the positions for teams in the Regional Tournament for places 5–8.
In the Final Round, which will consist of sixteen teams (two from each host region), teams will be drawn into two groups of eight. The Final Round will see teams compete in a traditional single round-robin home and away schedule. The teams that finish top in each group of the Final Round will be promoted to China League Two, and will in addition play in a two-legged play-off to determine the final winners of the competition. The second- to the fifth-placed teams in each group will play in a promotion play-off, with two winners being promoted to China League Two.
