The 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League will be the 52nd season of North America's premier club football tournament organized by CONCACAF, and the 9th season since it was renamed from the CONCACAF Champions' Cup to the CONCACAF Champions League.
On 30 June 2015, it was announced that the 2017 CONCACAF Champions League Final will be played at the BMO Field in Toronto, Canada.
Association team allocation
edit| NOTE: The following information is based on the regulations of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League,[1] which are used for the three-year UEFA club competition cycle beginning in the 2015–16 season and ending in the 2017–18 season. All information is based on the circular issued by UEFA to the member associations,[2] and subject to future changes by UEFA. |
A total of 77, 78 or 79 teams from 53 of the 54 UEFA member associations are expected to participate in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league). The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[1]
- Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
- Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify.
- Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify.
- Associations 16–54 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.
- The winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League and 2015–16 UEFA Europa League are each given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league. Because a maximum of five teams from one association can enter the Champions League, if both the Champions League title holders and the Europa League title holders are from the same top three ranked association and finish outside the top four of their domestic league, the fourth-placed team of their association will be moved to the Europa League.[3]
Association ranking
editFor the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2015 CONCACAF country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in North American competitions from 2010–11 to 2014–15.[4][5]
Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:
- (CL) – Additional berth for Champions League title holders
- (SL) – Additional berth for SuperLiga title holders

Distribution
editThe table below shows the default access list.[6][7]
| Teams entering in this round | Teams advancing from previous round | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| First qualifying round (20 teams) |
|
||
| Second qualifying round (34 teams) |
|
| |
| Third qualifying round | Champions Route (20 teams) |
|
|
| League Route (10 teams) |
|
||
| Play-off round | Champions Route (10 teams) |
| |
| League Route (10 teams) |
|
| |
| Group stage (32 teams) |
|
| |
| Knockout phase (16 teams) |
| ||
The access list above is provisional, as changes will be made depending on whether the Champions League and Europa League title holders qualify for the tournament via their domestic leagues. The Champions League title holders always enter directly into the group stage. The Europa League title holders also enter directly into the group stage if either they or the Champions League title holders qualify for the group stage via their domestic leagues (if both teams qualify for the group stage via their domestic leagues, the champions of association 13 enter directly into the group stage). Otherwise, the Europa League title holders enter directly the play-off round, with the route they enter depending on the Champions League title holders:
- League Route: If the Champions League title holders have qualified for any round of the League Route, or have not qualified for the tournament via their domestic league and are from the associations 1–12 in the access list.
- Champions Route: If the Champions League title holders have qualified for any round of the Champions Route, or have not qualified for the tournament via their domestic league and are from the associations 13–54 in the access list.
The final access list will then be adjusted accordingly, with teams entering either earlier or later into the competition in order to ensure that the group stage consists of 32 teams and the play-off round consists of 20 teams. UEFA has published a detailed document outlining several possible qualification scenarios,[8] which are also covered in the regulations (Article 3.07).[1]

The draw for the group stage will be held on 25 August 2016, at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, United States. The 32 teams are drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams are seeded into four pots based on the following principles (introduced starting 2015–16 season):
- Pot 1 contains the title holders and the champions of the top seven associations based on their 2015 CONCACAF country coefficients. If the title holders are one of the champions of the top seven associations, the champions of the association ranked eighth are also seeded into Pot 1.
- Pot 2, 3 and 4 contain the remaining teams, seeded based on their 2016 CONCACAF club coefficients.
In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners and runners-up advance to the round of 16, while the third-placed teams enter the 2016–17 CONCACAF SuperLiga round of 32. The matchdays are 13–14 September, 27–28 September, 18–19 October, 1–2 November, 22–23 November, and 6–7 December 2016.
The youth teams of the clubs that qualify for the group stage also play in the 2016–17 CONCACAF Youth League on the same matchdays, where they compete in the CONCACAF Champions League Path (the youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations compete in a separate Domestic Champions Path until the knockout phase).
A total of 16 national associations are represented in the group stage. Lyford Cay and Square United will make their debut appearances in the group stage.

Knockout phase
editIn the knockout phase, teams play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
- In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
- In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other.
- If any association sends two teams to the semifinals, those teams will automatically be paired with each other and the draw will only be used to determine which team hosts the second leg of each semifinal match-up.
