The '''CONCACAF Champions Cup''', formerly known as '''CONCACAF Champions League''' (2008–2023), is an international [[association football]] competition organized by [[CONCACAF]] as its top continental tournament for clubs from [[North America]], [[Central America]], and the [[Caribbean]]. The champions automatically qualify for the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] and the [[FIFA Intercontinental Cup]].

The tournament currently uses a [[Single-elimination tournament|knockout format]]; it had a group stage prior to the [[2018 CONCACAF Champions League|2018 edition]]. Unlike its European and South American counterparts, the winners of the CONCACAF Champions Cup does not automatically qualify for the following edition of the tournament.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.concacaf.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/CCL1314-Regulations060313pdf.pdf|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131108043304/http://www.concacaf.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/CCL1314-Regulations060313pdf.pdf|url-status=dead|title=CONCACAF Champions League Regulations 2013/2014, Rule 3.7|archivedate=8 November 2013}}</ref>

The title has been won by 30 clubs, 14 of which have won the title more than once. [[Liga MX]] from Mexico is the most successful league, with 40 titles in total. The second most successful league is the [[Liga FPD]] from Costa Rica, with six titles in total. [[Club América]] and [[Cruz Azul]] are the most successful club in the competition, winning seven titles each. The most successful non-Mexican club is [[Deportivo Saprissa]], winning three titles. The only four teams to successfully defend the title are all Mexican: América, [[Cruz Azul]], [[C.F. Pachuca|Pachuca]] and [[C.F. Monterrey|Monterrey]]. The current champions of the competition are Cruz Azul, who defeated [[Vancouver Whitecaps FC]] in the [[2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup final|2025 final]].

==Competition format==
Each round of competition consists of a two-leg home-and-away series with the winners determined by aggregate goals over both legs. If aggregate goals are equal, the [[away goals rule]] is applied. If away goals are also equal, the game goes to an extra time period. If it is still tied, the game is decided through a penalty shoot-out.

Prior to 2018, the tournament had two parts: a group stage held from August to October, and a knockout phase held from March to May of the following year. The group stage consisted of 24 teams playing in eight groups of three teams each, with each team playing the other two teams in its group twice. United States and Mexican sides could not be drawn into the same group. The winners of each of the eight groups advanced to the quarterfinals. Each phase of the knockout rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, finals) consisted of a two-leg home-and-away series with the winner determined by aggregate goal differential.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timbers.com/CCL/concacaf-champions-league-faq|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821151446/http://www.timbers.com/CCL/concacaf-champions-league-faq|url-status=dead|title=What is CCL?|archive-date=21 August 2014|publisher=Portland Timbers|access-date=29 September 2014}}</ref> Seeding in the knockout phase was determined by performance during the group stage.

Prior to the 2012–13 season, the competition had involved four groups of four, with one Mexican team and one U.S. team in each group. A preliminary round was used to reduce the number of teams from 24 to 16.

===Champions Cup era (1962–2008)===

Prior to 2008, the tournament was called the '''CONCACAF Champions' Cup''', but was usually referred to simply as the Champions' Cup. The competition was initially created as a possible measure to enter the South American [[Copa Libertadores]], a competition organized by [[CONMEBOL]].{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} The competition had several different formats over its lifetime. Initially, only the champions of the North American leagues participated. In 1971, the runners-up of a few North American leagues began to join and the tournament began to be expanded, incorporating round-robin group phases and more teams.

====Initial formats (1962–1996)====
During the opening rounds of the tournament, teams would compete within one of three regional zones: North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Typically the winner of one zone would receive a bye to the Champions' Cup final while the winner of the other two zones would compete in a semifinal. From 1981, the North and Central American zones were usually combined meaning that the winner of the joint zone would face the winner of the Caribbean zone in the final. From 1993 to 1996, three clubs from the North/Central American zone and one club from the Caribbean zone qualified for the final round of the tournament which was held in a central location.

====Knockout formats (1997–2008)====
After the creation of the United States' [[Major League Soccer]], the competition became an eight-team knockout tournament with zonal qualification. The first four editions were hosted in a central location with single leg ties before changing to a home-and-away format in 2002. Four [[North American Football Union|North American zone]] clubs qualified from [[Liga MX]] or Major League Soccer, three Central American clubs from the [[UNCAF Interclub Cup]], and one Caribbean club from the [[CFU Club Championship]]. In 2002 and 2003, the tournament consisted of 16 teams with twice as many qualifying from each zone. Since 2005, the champion of the competition gained entry into the [[FIFA Club World Cup]], giving clubs an added incentive for a strong participation and greater interest from fans.

===Champions League era (2008–2023)===
At their 2006 November meeting, the CONCACAF Executive Committee decided to "act upon" a proposal at their next meeting by the CONCACAF Secretariat to develop the CONCACAF Champions' Cup into a larger "Champions League" style event.<!-- http://www.reggaeboyzsc.com/forum1/forum/reggae-boyz-supporterz-club-forums/reggaeboyzsc-com-forum/2822-concacaf-executive-committee-exco-reached-a-number-of-important-decisions-in-a-wide-range-of-areas-on-friday#post101582 --> On 14 November 2007, the CONCACAF Executive Committee reported some of the details.<ref name="concacaf.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.asp?id=4025|title=CONCACAF ExCo meeting in New York|date=14 November 2007|publisher=CONCACAF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223013023/http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.asp?id=4025|archive-date=23 December 2007}}</ref>

====Initial format: preliminary round and group stage (2008–2012)====
The last eight-team Champions' Cup format was used as planned in March and April 2008. Then, a newly expanded 24-team Champions League tournament was conducted starting in August 2008 and concluding in May 2009.<ref name="concacaf.com" /><ref>{{cite news| url=http://blog.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2007/11/we_are_the_champions_league.html | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110523101415/http://blog.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2007/11/we_are_the_champions_league.html | archive-date=May 23, 2011 | newspaper=The Washington Post | title=We Are the Champions (League)}}</ref> The expanded tournament meant that Central American clubs would qualify directly and thus the UNCAF Interclub Cup was ended after 2007.

In the new Champions League tournament, there was a two-legged preliminary round for 16 clubs, with the eight winners advancing to the group stage. They were joined by the other eight teams who qualified directly to the group stage. The clubs involved in the group stage were placed into four groups of four with each team playing the others in its group in both home and away matches. The top two teams from each group advanced to quarterfinals of the knockout rounds, which consisted of two-legged ties.  The final round was also two-legged. Also, unlike the previously contested CONCACAF Champions' Cup, the [[away goals]] rule is used in the CONCACAF Champions League, but does not apply after a tie goes into extra time.<ref name="regulations">{{cite press release|title=CONCACAF Champions League Regulations 2008/2009 |url=http://www.concacaf.com/graphics/stats-regs/pdf/Regulations%20CONCACAF%20Champions%20Leaguev10.pdf |publisher=CONCACAF |access-date=2008-07-27}}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}</ref>

====Elimination of the preliminary round (2012–2017)====
On January 12, 2012, CONCACAF announced that the 2012–13 tournament would be played under a different format than previous editions, where the preliminary round is eliminated and all qualified teams enter the group stage.<ref name="format">{{cite web|url=http://www.concacaf.com/page/CL/NewsDetail/0,,12813~2575174,00.html|title=Preliminary Round eliminated from CCL|publisher=CONCACAF.com|date=1 December 2012|access-date=2012-01-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309070036/http://www.concacaf.com/page/CL/NewsDetail/0,,12813~2575174,00.html|archive-date=2012-03-09|url-status=dead}}</ref> In the group stage, the 24 teams are drawn into eight groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots. The allocation of teams into pots are based on their national association and qualifying berth. Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) cannot be drawn with each other in the group stage, and each group is guaranteed to contain a team from either the United States or Mexico, meaning U.S. and Mexican teams cannot play each other in the group stage. Each group is played on a home-and-away [[round-robin tournament|round-robin]] basis. The winners of each group advance to the quarterfinal round of the championship stage.

In the championship stage, the eight teams play a [[single-elimination tournament]]. Each tie is played on a home-and-away [[two-legged tie|two-legged]] basis. The [[away goals rule]] is used if the aggregate score is level after normal time of the second leg, but not after [[extra time (association football)|extra time]], and so a tie is decided by [[penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] if the aggregate score is level after extra time of the second leg. Unlike previous years where a second draw was conducted to set the pairings for the championship stage, the bracket is determined by the teams' record in the group stage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.concacaf.com/page/CL/NewsDetail/0,,12813~2797493,00.html|title=CCL Draw procedures unveiled|publisher=CONCACAF.com|date=6 April 2012|access-date=2012-06-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120606060104/http://www.concacaf.com/page/CL/NewsDetail/0,,12813~2797493,00.html|archive-date=2012-06-06|url-status=dead}}</ref> The quarterfinals match the team with the best record against the team with the worst record, while the second-best team faces the seventh-best, third against sixth and fourth against fifth. The top four teams play the second leg at home. In the semifinals, the winner of 1-vs-8 faces the winner of 4-vs-5, with the 1-vs-8 winner hosting the second leg, and likewise 2-vs-7 plays 3-vs-6, with the 2-vs-7 winner hosting the second leg. In the finals, the team that prevails out of the upper bracket of 1-8-4-5 hosts the second leg. This means that the higher-seeded team does not necessarily host the second leg in the semifinals and finals.

In December 2016, Manuel Quintanilla, president of the [[Nicaraguan Football Federation]], spoke of a possible new format for the competition,<ref>{{cite web|title=Nicaragua con dos pases a Liga de Campeones|url=http://diariometro.com.ni/deportes/109615-liga-de-campeones-concachampions-nicaragua-cupo/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161216152202/http://diariometro.com.ni/deportes/109615-liga-de-campeones-concachampions-nicaragua-cupo/|archive-date=16 December 2016|website=Metro Nicaragua|access-date=16 December 2016|date=15 December 2016|language=es}}</ref> a statement that was later corroborated by [[Garth Lagerwey]], the general manager of [[Seattle Sounders FC]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Sounders GM hints at CONCACAF Champions League format change|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/sounders-gm-hints-concacaf-champions-163947950.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221163932/https://sports.yahoo.com/news/sounders-gm-hints-concacaf-champions-163947950.html|archive-date=21 December 2016|website=Goal.com|date=19 December 2016|access-date=20 December 2016}}</ref> On 23 January 2017, CONCACAF confirmed the new 16-team format beginning with the 2018 edition, eliminating the group stage which had been employed since the re-branding of the competition to the CONCACAF Champions League in 2008.<ref name="expansion"/>

Under the new CONCACAF competition platform, a new secondary tournament called [[CONCACAF League]] would be played from August to December beginning in 2017. The winner of CONCACAF League would qualify to the following year's Champions League where they would be joined by nine North American teams, the Caribbean Club Championship winner, and five Central American league champions who qualified directly.<ref name="expansion">{{cite press release |url=https://www.concacaf.com/en/champions-league/news/concacaf-expands-club-competition-field-implements-new-champions-league-format/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230613223724/https://www.concacaf.com/en/champions-league/news/concacaf-expands-club-competition-field-implements-new-champions-league-format/ |url-status=live |title=CONCACAF expands club competition field, implements new Champions League format |date=23 January 2017 |archive-date=13 June 2023 |publisher=CONCACAF |access-date=23 January 2017}}</ref> For the 2019–20 competition cycle, the direct Central American berths were removed and CONCACAF League was expanded so that the top-six clubs would qualify to Champions League.

The CONCACAF Champions League under this format had four rounds – round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final – with each being a home-and-away [[two-legged tie|two-legged]] basis with the [[away goals rule]].<ref name="expansion" /> However, beginning in 2019, the away goals rule would not be applied for the final round.

In February 2021, CONCACAF announced a major overhaul of the tournament which would have included 50 teams and a regional group stage.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concacaf.com/en/champions-league/news/concacaf-champions-league-to-expand-with-innovative-new-format-starting-2023-24/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210429161320/https://www.concacaf.com/champions-league/news/concacaf-champions-league-to-expand-with-innovative-new-format-starting-2023-24/|archive-date=29 April 2021|title=Concacaf Champions League to expand with innovative new format starting 2023/24|publisher=CONCACAF Champions League|date=4 February 2021}}</ref> Twenty teams from North America, twenty from Central America, and ten from the Caribbean would have been divided into groups of five, and a total of 16 teams would advance to the knockout stage.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Straus |first1=Brian |title=Concacaf Reveals New CCL Format, Starting in 2023 |url=https://www.si.com/soccer/2021/02/04/ccl-concacaf-champions-league-format-expansion-details-2023 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204190054/https://www.si.com/soccer/2021/02/04/ccl-concacaf-champions-league-format-expansion-details-2023 |archive-date=4 February 2021 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |access-date=5 February 2021 |date=4 February 2021}}</ref> This format was abandoned and was never used.

In September of that year, CONCACAF announced an expansion of the tournament to begin in [[2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup|2024]]. The tournament will retain the all-knockout format used since 2018 but will now consist of five rounds and 27 teams participating:

* 1 [[Canadian Championship]] winner
* 3 [[Leagues Cup]] clubs

* 3 [[CONCACAF Caribbean Cup|Caribbean Cup]] clubs

Twenty-two clubs will enter the tournament in Round One while five clubs (the winners of MLS Cup, Liga MX, Leagues Cup, Central American Cup, and Caribbean Cup) receive byes to the round of 16.
