The CCL has been divided into two separate two-legged knockout tournaments. The (Fall Tournament ) CONCACAF League, which features only teams from Central America and the Carribean, and The (Spring Tournament) CONCACAF Champions League, which features four MLS teams, four Liga MX teams, the Caribean champions, six champions from other CONCACAF nations, and the winner of The (Fall Tournament) CONCACAF League.
Wednesday night, CONCACAF held the draw for The CONCACAF League:
The series are numbered 1 thru 8, with the winners of the odd-numbered series, set to host the winners of the even- numbered series.
