FIFA ASEAN Cup or ASEAN Championship: what is the difference?
They are separate tournaments. The ASEAN Championship has been run by the ASEAN Football Federation since 1996. The FIFA ASEAN Cup is FIFA's own competition, announced by FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Oct. 26, 2025 at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur and approved by the FIFA Council on March 20, 2026. It was played in an official FIFA international window, so clubs had to release their players, whereas the ASEAN Championship has usually been played outside those windows (Wikipedia).
The top division had hosts Indonesia plus Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, with Bangladesh and Pakistan as invited teams. The Challenge Cup had hosts Hong Kong plus Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and Timor-Leste. FIFA's own tournament page is at fifa.com.

What the winner gets
The top-division champion was first reported to collect US$1 million. On Sept. 22, just before the tournament began, Indonesian and Vietnamese outlets reported that FIFA had cut the prize by 35% to US$650,000 because of trouble selling broadcast rights, and FIFA had not confirmed it at that point (Ground News roundup). Wikipedia's prize table now lists US$650,000 for the champion, US$300,000 for the Challenge Cup champion and a US$125,000 participation fee for each team.
When is the next FIFA ASEAN Cup?
FIFA has not confirmed a date for a second edition in the sources checked. Wikipedia's tournament infobox shows 2030 as the next one, but its article for that edition does not exist yet.
