The 2025 AFC Challenge League final was the final match of the 2024–25 AFC Challenge League, the 11th season of Asia's third-highest club football tournament organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and the first since it was rebranded as the AFC Challenge League. It was played on 10 May 2025 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia,[3] between local club Svay Rieng and Turkmenistani side Arkadag, both of which reached a continental final for the first time.

The winners were given an indirect preliminary stage slot for the 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two, if they had not already qualified through their domestic performance.
