The 2021 AFC Women's Club Championship (also known as the AFC Women's Club Championship 2021 Pilot Tournament (West)) was the second edition of AFC's premier women's club football competition, held between 7 and 13 November. Four clubs from four associations competed.

The following teams played in the West Zone tournament.
Initially, an East Zone tournament including teams from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Taiwan, was also announced. In late July, it was announced that due to COVID-19 restrictions, there was no interest from the clubs in the East to host the tournament, and it was subsequently cancelled.

Tiebreakers

If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
Goal difference in all group matches;
Goals scored in all group matches;
Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they met in the last round of the group;
