[edit] Qualification

24 teams are expected to participate in the CONCACAF Champions League 2010–11 from the North American, Central American, and Caribbean zones.

From the North American Zone:

4 clubs from Mexico
4 clubs from the United States
1 club from Canada

From the Central American Zone:

2 clubs from Costa Rica
2 clubs from Honduras
2 clubs from El Salvador
2 clubs from Guatemala
2 clubs from Panama
1 club from Nicaragua
1 club from Belize

From the Caribbean Zone:

3 clubs, qualifying via the CFU Club Championship[1].

Teams may be disqualified and replaced if they don't have a stadium for the tournament that CONCACAF deems suitable.[2] If a club fails to meet the standards for its home stadium, this club must find a suitable stadium in its own country. If said club fails to provide the adequate facilities, it will run the risk of being replaced. [3]

  • Central America: 12 Central American clubs can qualify to the Champions League. If one or more clubs is precluded, it will be supplanted by a club from another Central American federation. The reallocation would be based on results from the Champions League 2009–10.

For the Central American representatives that qualify via split seasons, in nations that play a playoff to determine a national champion, the winner will gain the nation's top spot, and in nations that don't, total points over both seasons, followed by other tiebreakers, will determine which team gains the nation's top spot.

After having analyzed previous results, the CONCACAF Executive Committee approved a reallocation of berths compared to the previous two seasons, giving Panama one automatic place in the Group Stage while making both of El Salvador's qualifiers go through the Preliminary Round.[4]

There will be a two-legged Preliminary Round for 16 clubs, with the eight winners advancing to the Group Stage. The other eight qualified teams will be seeded directly into the Group Stage. The clubs involved in the Group Stage will be placed into four groups of four with each team playing the others in its group in both home and away matches. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Championship Round, which will consist of two-legged ties. The Final Round, to be held in late April 2011, will also be two-legged. The away goals rule will be used, but will not apply once a tie enters extra time.
