    Unless I'm not seeing it, I don't see Alianza from El Salvador in there? They won both the latest two league championships.

    Thanks NFLPatriot/newtex, looks better now. Do we know for sure if this year's main tournament is going to follow the same format as last year's? I know it's going to be a weird in-betweener year without Leagues Cup and right before the expanded CCL, so wasn't sure if anything would change.

    US participants should be the same minus dropping the next highest team point total in favor of the Open Cup winner correct (MLS Cup champ, Supporter's Shield winner, and division winner of opposite conference)?

    Teams that have already qualified:
    The 2023 Champions League will be the same format. Remember the new CCL format doesn't start until after the first of the year in 2024. The CONCACAF League is being replaced by regional tournaments later in 2023 ahead of the new Champions League format.

    The USA spots for 2023 will be the usual ones:
    1. 2022 MLS Cup winner
    2. 2022 Supporter Shield winner
    3. 2022 Opposite conference winner
    4. 2022 U.S. Open Cup winner

    Hand me down spots will use the Shield table.

    Speaking of the new format in 2024:

    https://www.si.com/soccer/2022/06/01/concacaf-champions-league-2024-qualification-format-criteria

    This is interesting:

    The same thing applies to the Canadian Championship but in that case it could also go down to a semi-finalist in the tournament.

    This one is still TBD:

    I thought goal #3 was offside, then they scored two more times after that before I could post about it. Insane game. Waterhouse had nothing for Pacific.

    Thx,
