Orlando City are the defending champions, and reached the final, losing to Mexican club UANL. It was UANL's first title.

Association team allocation edit

A total of 78 teams from the 41 CONCACAF member associations, and 9 guest associations participate in the 2022–23 CONCACAF Champions League. The association ranking based on the CONCACAF association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1–4 each have four teams qualify.
  • Associations 5–6 each have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 7–14 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 15–52 each have one team qualify.
  • The winners of the 2021–22 CONCACAF Champions League and 2021–22 CONCACAF SuperLiga are each given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2022–23 CONCACAF Champions League through their domestic league.

Association ranking edit

For the 2022–23 CONCACAF Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2021 CONCACAF association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in North American competitions from 2016–17 to 2020–21. This is the first time in CONCACAF history that Mexico has not occupied the top spot.
