The 2021–22 CONCACAF SuperLiga is the 16th season of North America's secondary club football tournament organised by CONCACAF.

The 2022 CONCACAF SuperLiga Final will be played at the Estadio Rommel Fernández in Panama City, Panama.

This edition of the tournament will feature 32 teams. The knockout stage will still feature 32 teams. 16 teams from group stage, plus eight third place teams in the Champions League and eight group winners from the newly created CONCACAF Confederations League.

Association team allocation

[edit]

A total of 215 (expected) teams from all 41 CONCACAF member associations participate in the 2020–21 CONCACAF SuperLiga. The association ranking based on the CONCACF country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1–50 (except Liechtenstein) each have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 51–55 each have two teams qualify (starting from this season, with association 51 losing one spot and association 55 gaining one spot).
  • Moreover, 57 teams eliminated from the 2020–21 CONCACAF Champions League are transferred to the Europa League.

Association ranking

[edit]

For the 2019–20 CONCACAF SuperLiga, the associations are allocated places according to their 2017 CONCACAF country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in North American competitions from 2014–15 to 2018–19.

In the default access list, the title holders of the CONCACAF Confederations League qualify for the group stage. However, since this berth is not used for this season, the following changes to the access list are made:

  • The cup winners of association 7 enter the group stage instead of the play-off round.
  • The cup winners of associations 13 and 14 enter the play-off round instead of the third qualifying round.

Changes will be made to the access list above, if any of the teams that qualify for the SuperLiga via their domestic competitions also qualify for the Champions League as the Champions League or SuperLiga title holders, or if there are fewer teams transferred from the Champions League due to changes in the Champions League access list. In any case where a spot in the SuperLiga is vacated, teams of the highest-ranked associations in earlier rounds will be promoted accordingly.

Notes

  1. ^
    Mexico (MEX): Due to the 2020–21 Copa MX being canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic, Puebla qualified for the SuperLiga by having the best regular season aggregate record for a team that has not reached the Apertura or Clausura finals.
  2. ^
    Suriname (SUR): Notch qualified for the SuperLiga in the vacated 2019 SVB Cup spot, which was won by Inter Moengotapoe, who qualified for the 2020–21 CONCACAF Champions League by finishing second at the time of abandonment of the 2019–20 SVB Topklasse.
  3. ^
    United States (USA): Due to the 2021 U.S. Open Cup being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City FC who had the best MLS regular season record of American-based teams that did not already qualify for the SuperLiga or Champions League qualified.

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 IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, United States (near Tampa) with the third round of qualifying matches being held on 26 August 2021 and the playoff round being held on 29 August 2019. Unvaccinated players 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.
