The CONCACAF Champions League is the premier club tournament for soccer teams who play in the domestic leagues of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The current format features sixteen teams, and the event is held between February and April each year.
What are the winners’ odds for the CONCACAF Champions League
Out of the sixteen teams that qualify for the tournament, the four from Mexico will be the top picks according to the CONCACAF Champions League betting odds.
Mexico has by far the strongest domestic league out of all the regions that participate, and their teams have dominated the competition since it was rebranded as ‘The Champions League’ in 2008. No teams from any other nation have won the event since this time.
It is, therefore, no surprise to see the Mexican teams with the lowest CONCACAF Champions League 2022 odds.
There are also four teams from the MLS that qualify each season, and while these teams will start as outsiders, the gap between the quality of the MLS and the Mexican league gets smaller each year, so there’s a good chance that we will see a winner from the USA or even Canada fairly soon.

Do Canadian Teams have a chance?
Canadian teams can qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League via two methods.
Canada’s premier knockout cup competition, known as the Canadian Championship, features clubs from the MLS, Canadian Premier League and also the country’s lower leagues. The winner of this cup gets a guaranteed spot in the CONCACAF Champions League.

Canadian teams can also qualify via the Canadian Premier League. The winner of the Canadian Premier League will receive a berth in the CONCACAF League, a separate league featuring the best teams from Canada, select Central American nations and all Caribbean nations.
The top six teams from this league are also guaranteed a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League.
This means, there is always at least one Canadian team in the tournament, and the potential for two Canadian teams to be involved.
Toronto FC was very unlucky not to become the first team from the MLS (and Canada) to win the CONCACAF Champions League back in 2018.
After an incredible effort to make the final, the Reds lost in a penalty shootout, although their performance shows that a Canadian team can certainly win the tournament.

How does it work
The CONCACAF Champions League features sixteen teams, and the current format is a straight knockout competition.
- Teams will play each other twice (home and away) and the winner on aggregate will progress to the next round.
- Matches that are tied after two legs may go to a penalty shootout unless one team has scored more away goals.
- In the final, which is also played over two legs, the away goals rule does not apply.
How do teams qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League?
There are two ways that teams can qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League. The first method is direct qualification via the domestic league and/or cup competitions.

- 4 spots are allocated to USA teams – MLS Cup champions, MLS Supporters’ Shield champions, MLS Eastern/Western Conference regular-season champions and the U.S. Open Cup champions. This applies to winners from the prior season.
- 1 spot is allocated to the Canadian team that wins the Canadian Championship from the previous season.
- 1 spot is allocated to the team that wins the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship from the previous season.
