The CONCACAF Champions League is the most important club competition in the Northern, Central American and Caribbean confederation. This competition is played on a yearly basis, with the winner earning a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup every year.

This tournament has changed its name repeatedly. The new format was introduced in 2018, with 15 teams earning their spots directly into the tournament. One more team qualifies via the CONCACAF League, which substituted the group stage in this competition. CONCACAF hands out four spots for Mexican and American clubs. Each of the following countries gets one spot: Costa Rica, Honduras, Canada, Panama, El Salvador, and Guatemala. An additional berth is handed out to a Caribbean team.

The tournament kicks off in the Round of 16. Teams have to play two-legged ties in all stages, with away goals used as a tiebreaker in the event of a draw in the aggregate score. The final is played at the best-ranked team playing for the trophy.

The 2018 edition saw Guadalajara winning their second title in history. Las Chivas defeated Toronto FC after penalties to gain access to the 2018 FIFA Club World Cup. 

The 2019 CONCACAF Champions League is scheduled to begin in February. The tournament final is scheduled to be played in April. The draw will be held in December 2018.

Did you know? No non-Mexican team has won this competition since 2005. Saprissa became the last team from another nation to claim this title.
