On 9 August 2020, the AHF decided to postpone the championship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, the championship was scheduled to take place from 10 to 22 December 2020.[4] On 3 August 2021, the AHF announced to move the event from South Korea to Jordan due to the pandemic.[5]
South Korea won their fifth straight and 15th overall title after defeating Japan in the final.[6]
The draw was held in Amman, Jordan on 11 August 2021 at 18:00.[7]

- For the first time, China did not participate.
- Since 2018 countries from Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) may participate in the Asian Championships and may qualify for the World Championship if one of them finishes within the top five.
- In August 2021, Afghanistan, who was drawn in Group B, withdrew from the championship due to the fall of Kabul. In the same time, India, also drawn in Group B, also withdrew from the championship due to unavoidable circumstances. As a consequence, Palestine and Syria were added to Group B to replace those two countries.[8]
- In September 2021, a few days before the start of the championship, Qatar withdrew from the championship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
