The tournament will be the first under a revised format featuring 27 teams and a five-round knockout phase and the first since being renamed from the CONCACAF Champions League. The winner of the final will qualify for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup alongside the winners from 2021 to 2023.[1]
Club León are the title holders, but they have not qualified for this tournament through the slots for Liga MX teams.
