2025 OFC Men's Champions League group stage

The 2025 OFC Champions League group stage was played from 30 March to 6 April 2025.[1] A total of 8 teams competed in the group stage to decide the four places in the knockout stage of the 2025 OFC Men's Champions League. After originally being planned to be hosted by Fiji, OFC announced Solomon Islands would instead host the tournament due to lack of available venues in Fiji.[2]

Draw

The draw of the group stage took place at OFC Home of Football in Auckland, New Zealand on 11 December 2024.[3][4] The 8 teams were drawn into two groups of four. Not all teams were known at the time of the draw.

Format
