The 22 teams have been determined for the 2021 CONCACAF League. 12 teams will start in the Preliminary Round in August. They play home-and-away to qualify for the Round of 16. 10 teams go straight to the Round of 16 that starts in around September 22. The Draw for pairings is June 16. Pots were determined by historical results of teams in those slots. Preliminary Round Pot 1 Santos de Guápiles [CRC3] Once Deportivo [SLV3] Marathón [HON3] FAS [SLV2] Universitario [PAN3] Metropolitan (PUR) [CFU3] Pot 2 Diriangén [NCA2] Forge [CAN2] Comunicaciones [GUA3] Samaritaine (MTQ) [CFU4] Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa [GUA2] Verdes [BLZ] Round of 16 Pot 3 CA Independiente [PAN1] Olimpia [HON1] LD Alajuelense [CRC1 or CRC2] Plaza Amador [PAN2] Motagua [HON2] Alianza [SLV1] Deportivo Saprissa [CRC1 or CRC2] Real Estelí [NCA1] Pot 4 Inter Moengo Tapoe (SUR) [CFU2] CD Guastatoya [GUA1] 6 Preliminary Round winners The top 6 teams in this tournament advance to the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League next spring.
Any word on how the round of 16 works, is it just home-and-away as well until they get to the top 4 + two highest ranked runner ups?
It is home-and-away the whole way through. They crown a champion. You are correct on the teams that advance. They use the results in the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals to determine the final two spots beyond the semifinalists.
