Ten teams will qualify based on league performance. 

4 clubs from the United States, 4 clubs from Mexico, 1 club from Canada, and 1 club from the Caribbean Club Championship

The top 6 teams from last year’s CONCACAF League will also qualify.

This in total rounds out the 16 teams for the tournament. 

Club América & Cruz Azul are the most successful clubs in the competition's history.
