Location of teams of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League
North American Zone Central American Zone Caribbean Zone

The draw for the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League was held on 15 December 2021, in Miami, Florida, United States.^[5]

The draw determined each tie in the round of 16 (numbered 1 through 8) between a team from Pot 1 and a team from Pot 2, each containing eight teams. The "Bracket Position Pots" (Pot A and Pot B) contains the bracket positions numbered 1 through 8 corresponding to each tie. The teams from Pot 1 are assigned a bracket position from Pot A and the teams from Pot 2 were assigned a bracket position from Pot B. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other in the round of 16 except for "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association.

The seeding of teams were based on the CONCACAF Club Index.^[6] The CONCACAF Club Index, instead of ranking each team, was based on the on-field performance of the teams that occupied the respective qualifying slots in the previous five editions of the CONCACAF Champions League. To determine the total points awarded to a slot in any single edition of the CONCACAF Champions League, CONCACAF used the following formula:

The slots were assigned by the following rules:^[7]

• For teams from North America, nine teams qualified based on criteria set by their association (e.g., tournament champions, runners-up, cup champions), resulting in an assigned slot (e.g., MEX1, MEX2) for each team. If a team from Canada qualified through the CONCACAF League, they were ranked within their association, resulting in an assigned slot (i.e., CAN2) for them.
• For teams from Central America, they qualified through the CONCACAF League, and were ranked per association by their CONCACAF League ranking, resulting in an assigned slot (e.g., CRC1, CRC2) for each team.
• For teams from the Caribbean, the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship champions were assigned the Caribbean champion slot (i.e., CCC1). If teams from the Caribbean qualified through the CONCACAF League, they were ranked per association by their CONCACAF League ranking, resulting in an assigned slot (e.g., JAM1, SUR1) for each team.

The 16 teams were distributed in the pots as follows:^[8]

Pot	Rank	Slot	2016–17	2018	2019	2020	2021	Total	Team
Pot 1	1	MEX2	30	25	21	24	16	116	Cruz Azul

	15	GUA2	6	0	0	0	0	6	Guastatoya
	16	CAN2	0	0	0	0	0	0	Forge FC

Each tie, including the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing on a home-and-away basis.

• In the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, the away goals rule was applied if the aggregate score was tied after the second leg. If still tied, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 12.7).^[9]
• In the final, extra time was played if the match was tied after regulation time of the second leg. The away goals rule was not applied. If the score was still tied after extra time in the second leg, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 12.8).^[9]

All matches were played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Times are Eastern Time, as listed by CONCACAF (local times are in parentheses):

• Times on 15 March 2022 – 4 May 2022 are Eastern Daylight Time, i.e., UTC−4.
• Times otherwise are Eastern Standard Time, i.e., UTC−5.

In the round of 16, the matchups were decided by draw: R16-1 through R16-8. The teams from Pot 1 in the draw hosted the second leg.

The first legs were played on 15–17 February, and the second legs were played on 22–24 February 2022.^[13][14]
