Schedule[edit]
The schedule of the competition was as follows. Due to the delays of the 2020–21 editions of CONCACAF competitions, along with ongoing issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the qualifying rounds remained a one-legged affair for the second consecutive year, although the group stage returned to all matches being played at the club's respective home ground. Matches were scheduled for Thursdays apart from the final, which took place on a Wednesday, though exceptionally could take place on Tuesdays or Wednesdays due to scheduling conflicts (especially featuring teams from countries where there were very few sufficient stadiums). Scheduled kick-off times starting from the group stage were 18:45 (instead of 18:55 previously) and 21:00 EST/EDT, though exceptionally could take place at 16:30 due to geographical reasons.
All draws started at 13:00 or 14:00 CEST/CET and were held at the CONCACAF headquarters in Miami, United States.
