The format of this round is kept short but intense. Matches will be played at the home team's home ground in a round-robin format. The top two teams in each group will qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup finals in the US, Canada and Mexico.

The runners-up in each group will not stop their journey. They will enter the regional playoff series, playing home and away matches to choose the sole representative of Asia to participate in the intercontinental playoff. Here, six teams from different continents will compete, and only the last two tickets will be awarded. This is the ultimate challenge for Indonesia if it wants to create a historical miracle.
