The 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup will be the 59th edition of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the premier football club competition organized by CONCACAF, the regional governing body of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The tournament will be the first under a revised format featuring 27 teams and a five-round knockout phase, and the first since being renamed from the CONCACAF Champions League.
The winner of the final will qualify 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.[1][2] The winner will also qualify for the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup to be held in December.[3]
León are the title holders, but they did not qualify for this tournament and are unable to defend their title.
Qualification
Twenty-seven teams will qualify for the tournament. Five of the teams will qualify directly for the Round of 16, while the remaining 22 teams will enter in Round One.
In addition to national league competitions in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, 12 of 27 berths will be 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.[4]
Unlike in previous years, the three MLS teams based in Canada will be 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 will qualify 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, provide 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 2022–23 Liga MX season receive the five byes into the round of 16.[4][5][6]

A total of 27 teams (from 9 or 10 associations) qualify for the tournament.[6]
- North American Zone: 18 teams (from 3 associations)
- Central American Zone: 6 teams (from 2–6 associations)
- Caribbean Zone: 3 teams (from 1–3 associations)
Five teams receive 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 has a split Clausura and Apertura system, so the champion team with the higher aggregate points takes this place.)
The remaining 22 teams enter in Round One.

- The runners-up and third-place team from the Caribbean Cup
- The remaining semi-finalists and two play-in winners from the Central American Cup

Draw
The draw for the tournament was held on December 13, 2023. Teams will be seeded based on their CONCACAF club ranking as of December 11, 2023. This ranking formula replaces the CONCACAF club index which was used in past editions.[7] Eight teams – the five receiving byes and the top-three ranked teams entering in the first round – will be directly assigned positions in the bracket based on their Club Ranking. The remaining 19 teams will be divided into two pots and then randomly drawn into positions.[8]
