2025 Concacaf Champions Cup
2025 Concacaf Champions Cup

The 60th edition of the Concacaf Champions Cup, which will feature the best clubs in the region, is scheduled to be played between February and June 2025. In addition to crowning the Confederation’s club champion, the Concacaf Champions Cup is the sole path through which clubs in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean can qualify for the expanded 32-club FIFA Club World Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

The winner of the home-and-away series is determined by aggregate goals scored. This means that whoever scores more goals in the two games will advance to the next round. If aggregate goals are equal, the team with more away goals scored will advance. If away goals are also equal, the game is decided by an immediate penalty shoot-out, with no extra time played.
