The 2026 WAFF Women's Clubs Championship is the third edition of the WAFF Women's Clubs Championship, the West Asian women's club football championship organised by the West Asian Football Federation.

Due to be hosted by Saudi Arabia in November 2024,[1][2] the tournament was postponed to a later date due to security concerns arising from the 2024 Iran–Israel conflict.[3] In June 2026, it was announced that the tournament would be hosted by Jordan in July–August 2026.[4]

Safa, the defending champions,[4] are unable to defend their title following the team's dissolution in 2022.[5]

Al-Nassr achieved their first title, after defeating Al-Hilal of Syria 4–0 in the final.[6]
