Ahead of the tournament, several countries announced they would not send their teams to the tournament due to concerns of COVID-19 in the United States. This included the Corn Islands, the Crasqui Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Greenland, Iroquois, Montserrat, Navajo, Nueva Esparta, Nunavut, Saba, St. Pierre and Miquelon, and Sint Eustatius.
Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States was scheduled to host the final, which was scheduled for 6 May 2021. It was moved to nearby Heinz Field and played on the same date. The two Mexican clubs that qualified for the tournament reached the final, UNAM and UANL. UNAM won the final, 3–1.

Schedule
editThe schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City, United States, unless stated otherwise). The tournament would originally have started in June 2020, but had been delayed to September due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America. The new schedule was announced by the CONCACAF Executive Committee on 17 June 2020.
All qualifying matches, including the play-off round, will be played as single leg matches. Qualifying matches were to be held in pods where teams from the same countries were scheduled to play against each other as often as possible to minimize international travel. Per CONCACAF, all group stages matches will be played at "bubble sites". Knockout round mathces would be held at the home grounds of the finalists. The group stage was reduced from six matches to three, with all three group stage matches played at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida behind closed doors.
