The 2023–24 CONCACAF Champions League is the 59th season of North America's premier club football tournament organised by CONCACAF, and the 16th season since it was renamed from the Champions Cup to the CONCACAF Champions League.
The final will be played at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The winners of the 2023–24 CONCACAF Champions League will automatically qualify for the 2024–25 CONCACAF Champions League group stage, earn the right to play against the winners of the 2023–24 CONCACAF SuperLiga in the 2024 CONCACAF Super Cup, and also enter the 32-team 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
UANL are the defending champions.
Association team allocation
editA total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55 UEFA member associations are set to participate in the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions being Liechtenstein,[Note LIE] which does not organise a domestic league and Russia[Note RUS]). The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[1]
- Associations 1–4 each have four teams qualify.
- Associations 5–6 each have three teams qualify.
- Associations 7–15 (except Russia)[Note RUS] each have two teams qualify.
- Associations 16–55 (except Liechtenstein)[Note LIE] each have one team qualify.
- The winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League and 2022–23 UEFA Europa League are each given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league.
Association ranking
editFor the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2022 UEFA association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2017–18 to 2021–22.[2] The team allocation reflects Russia's ongoing suspension from UEFA competitions.
Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations may have additional teams (a maximum of 5 per association) participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

- ^ Mexico (MEX): The 2022–23 CONCACAF Champions League winners, UANL qualified automatically for the 2023–24 Champions League for winning last year's edition. Therefore, the highest aggregate team to not already qualify, Monterrey, took UANL's spot.

Group stage
editThe group stage draw for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League took place at the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco, on 31 August at 18:00 CEST. The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots, each of eight teams, based on the following principles:
- Pot 1 contained the Champions League and Europa League title holders, and the champions of the top six associations based on their 2021–22 UEFA association coefficients. Because Manchester City (the champions of the 2022–23 Premier League) won the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, the champions of Association 7 (Netherlands) Feyenoord entered into Pot 1.
- Pots 2, 3 and 4 contained the remaining qualified teams, with their pot being determined by UEFA club coefficient (CC).[7]
Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
Atlético Ottawa, Austin FC, and Inter Miami made their debut appearances in the group stage.
A total of 17 national associations were represented in the group stage.
