Reclassification

edit
  • All rounds were played in a single game hosted by the higher seed
  • If a game ended in a draw, it proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out.

edit
  • Teams were re-seeded each round.
  • The winners of the Reclassification matches were seeded based on their ranking in the classification table.
  • Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches advanced.
  • No away goals rule is applied in neither round; if the two teams were tied on aggregate, the higher-seeded team advanced.
  • In the final, if the two teams were tied after both legs, the match would go to extra time and, if necessary, a shoot-out.
  • Both finalists qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League.
