2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup

The 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup was the 60th season of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the premier club association football tournament for North, Central America, and the Caribbean's organized by CONCACAF. It was a five-round knockout tournament, with 27 teams that qualified based on their national and zonal league and cup competitions; the first four rounds were played as a two-legged series at the home stadiums of the respective teams.

Cruz Azul won their record-tying seventh title, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps of MLS in the final 5–0. As winners, they qualified for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

Qualification

Twenty-seven teams qualified for the tournament, with five qualifying directly to the round of 16. The remaining 22 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 2024 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.

Two Canadian Premier League teams qualified automatically, while the United States-only 2024 U.S. Open Cup knockout competition and the Canada-only equivalent, the 2024 Canadian Championship, provided one berth each.

The winners of the three zonal championships, along with the winner of MLS Cup 2024 and the champion of the 2023–24 Liga MX season, received the five byes into the round of 16.

Distribution

A total of 27 teams (from 10 associations) qualified for the tournament.

Five teams received a bye into the round of 16.

  • The champion of the regional competitions for each of CONCACAF's constituent zones; North American, Central American, and Caribbean
  • The champions of Liga MX of Mexico and Major League Soccer of the United States and Canada (Liga MX had a split Clausura and Apertura system, so the champion team with the higher aggregate points took this place. If a team won both Apertura and Clausura, they took this place.)

The remaining 22 teams entered in round one.
