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.

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.
