The GCC Champions League (Arabic: دوري أبطال الخليج للأندية‎‎), was an annually organized football league tournament for club of the Arabian peninsula.

The 2011 edition was the 26th time that it has been organized.

The tournament has changed other the years, especially with the Asian Champions League taking up to four clubs from certain leagues meaning that this tournament generally no longer witnesses league winners participating but clubs invited to enter.

In this edition no clubs represent Saudi Arabia.

Winners and runners up qualify for the quarter-finals.
