The draw for the group stage was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 7 December 2010.[1] The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. Clubs from the same country may not be drawn into the same group.[2]

The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the knockout stage.[4]

Notes
  • Note 7: Last two home matches of Persipura Jayapura moved to Mandala Stadium at Jayapura after approval by AFC.[11]
  • Note 8: Kingfisher East Bengal v South China moved to Barabati Stadium at Cuttack due to the state assembly elections which would mean lack of security personnel for the match in Kolkata.[12]
