With the competition's East Asian zone already severely disrupted by COVID-19, delegates from West Asia suspended group play to evaluate a "series of proposals" to complete the pool stage.
"All matches in AFC Champions League match day three were postponed in the West zone," the Asian Football Confederation said after emergency talks in Doha and Dubai, according to France24.
"The AFC has now asked for the cooperation of the member associations in producing a plan by which the remaining matches can be played before the round of 16."
The tournament's East zone, kept separate from the West until the final, last week moved back the start of its knock-out rounds to August. China, South Korea and Japan, whose domestic leagues are on hold over the virus, all have teams in the competition.
The West zone's quarter-finals will be moved to September to accommodate the extended group phase, and the two-legged semi-finals will be on October 14, 15, 28 and 29. The final remains on November 22 and 28.
"As with the East Zone, the MAs (member associations) provided some proposals which will now be considered by the AFC and the various stakeholders, including commercial partners," the AFC statement said.
This month's Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup could also be postponed, FIFA warned last week after talks with the AFC, as the deadly outbreak wreaks havoc with the sporting calendar.
