The 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup was the 59th season of the North, Central America, and the Caribbean's premier club football tournament organized by CONCACAF, and the first since it was rebranded as the CONCACAF Champions Cup. This was the first season under a new format featuring 27 teams and a five-round knockout phase.
Pachuca won their sixth title, defeating Columbus Crew of MLS in the final 3âÂÂ0. As winners, they qualified for the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, held in December. Pachuca also qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, alongside the 2021 winners Monterrey, the 2022 winners Seattle Sounders FC, and the 2023 winners León. However, due to Pachuca and León sharing the same ownership, León was later disqualified from the tournament.
Twenty-seven teams qualified for the tournament, with five of them earning direct qualification to the round of 16. The remaining twenty-two teams entered in round one.
In addition to national league competitions in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, 12 of 27 berths were determined by international competitions, including the revamped North American zonal competition, the 2023 Leagues Cup (three), and the existing regional or zonal championships in the Caribbean and Central America, the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup (three) and CONCACAF Central American Cup (six), respectively.
Unlike in previous years, the three MLS teams based in Canada were eligible to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions Cup through slots allocated to MLS (five), in addition to the slot for the Canadian Championship winners, while two Canadian Premier League teams qualified automatically for the first time. The United States-only 2023 U.S. Open Cup knockout competition and the Canada-only equivalent, the 2023 Canadian Championship, provided one berth each.
The winners of the three zonal championships, along with the winner of MLS Cup 2023 and the highest-scored champion from the 2022âÂÂ23 Liga MX season, received the five byes into the round of 16.
A total of 27 teams (from 10 associations) qualified for the tournament.
Five teams received a bye into the round of 16.
The remaining 22 teams entered in round one.
The following table includes the number of appearances, last appearance, and previous best from the CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament.
The draw for the tournament was held on 13 December 2023. Teams were seeded based on their CONCACAF club ranking as of 11 December 2023. This ranking formula replaced the CONCACAF club index which was used in past editions. Eight teams â the five receiving byes and the top-three ranked teams entering in the first round â were directly assigned positions in the bracket based on their club ranking. The remaining nineteen teams were divided into two pots and then randomly drawn into positions.
The competition was scheduled as follows.
Times are EST or EDT, as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
