On 12 March 2024, CONCACAF announced the competition, which began in August 2024.[2] The inaugural tournament was contested by clubs from seven nations: Canada, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Panama, Mexico, and the United States. It ended with a knockout stage in May 2025.[3]

Beginning with the third edition in 2027, the tournament will be rescheduled to take place between July and October of a single calendar year. Additionally, the group stage of the tournament will be removed, resulting in a pure knockout format.[4]

Competition format

[edit]

The tournament consists of three stages. A preliminary round is contested by two clubs, where the winner advances to the group stage, joining nine other clubs. The group stage consists of two groups of five clubs. Each club plays four matches, two at home and two away. The top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage, which is played in May of the following year, in a centralized location.[2]

In 2027, the group stage of the tournament will be removed resulting in a pure knockout format. Five teams will enter in the preliminary round, competing for two spots in the quarterfinals. Six teams (three each from Mexico and the United States) will enter in the quarterfinal stage. The quarterfinals and semifinals will be played as home and away series while the preliminary round and final will be single legs.[4]
