Notes

  1. ^
    Mexico (MEX): América qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League by the virtue of the Clausura champions, Cruz Azul qualifying by winning the 2020–21 CONCACAF Champions League, thus vacating their domestic spot to the highest finishing regular season team to not qualify for the Champions League.
  2. ^
    United States (USA): Orlando City qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League by the virtue of the MLS regular season runner-up, Toronto FC, being ineligible for being a Canadian club, and by fourth-place finisher, Columbus Crew vacating their spot by winning MLS Cup 2020.

Round and draw dates edit

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and concerns surrounding the COVID-19 Delta variant on 1 July 2021, CONCACAF announced that for the second season in a row, the qualifying rounds of the Champions League would be single legs at a neutral location to minimize cross-contamination. On 8 July 2021, CONCACAF announced that the qualifying matches would be held at the soccer complex adjacent to Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, United States (near Denver) with the first round of qualifying matches being held on 2 August 2021. Unvaccinated teams would report to the facility at least 10 days ahead of qualification matches and stay on the premises. Vaccinated teams would report to the facility at least five days ahead of qualification. Unlike last year's qualification, qualification matches would be open to the public.

The group stage would return to each team hosting three matches in their home stadium, with three matches on the road. The exception is Haitian teams would play outside of Haiti due to the 2018–2021 Haitian protests unless determined by CONCACAF to meet safety protocols. Match attendance would be determined by local regulations. The knockout round is expected to retain normal procedures.
