The 26th GCC Champions League ( Arabic: دوري أبطال مجلس التعاون الخليجي) was the 26th edition of the GCC Champions League for clubs of the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, held in 2011.

The tournament has changed over the years, especially with the AFC 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.

Four groups of three teams.

Winners and runners up qualify for the quarter-finals.

• Group stage games are played on a home and away basis between March and May
• Group winners enter a two legged semi-final stage
