Prior to 2008, the competition was known as the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, though it was frequently cited as simply the Champions' Cup. The tournament was originally a chain of round robin series, culminated by a final stage, in which four to six clubs would compete in a double round robin series to determine the continental champion. Throughout a majority of the tournament's existence, the competition varied in formats before 2008, when the tournament uses its current format.

Today, the tournament mirrors a format much like its sister tournament, the UEFA Champions League

. The Champions League begins in late July with a two-legged preliminary round, played between 16 different teams. The eight surviving teams join the eight seeded teams in the group stage, in which there are four groups consisting of four teams each. The four group winners and four runners-up enter the Championship Round, which either begins in late February or early March. The Championship Round begins with a two-legged quarterfinals and semifinals, which culminates with a two-legged final, held in late April. Since the Champions League era began in 2008, the competition has been heavily dominated by Mexican Primera Division teams, who have won every Champions League to date.

Champions League era (2008-present)

The CONCACAF Executive Committee at their 2006 November meeting decided to "act upon" a proposal at their next meeting by the CONCACAF Secretariat to develop the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup into a larger “Champions League” style event. The CONCACAF Executive Committee reported on November 14, 2007 some of the details. The previous Champions' Cup format was used as planned in the Spring of 2008. Then, a newly expanded Champions League tournament was conducted starting in August 2008 and concluding in May 2009. The setup involves 24 teams initially and features a Preliminary Round contested by some of the teams to reduce the field to 16 teams, which are separated into 4 groups of four teams. After the Group Stage, the Championship Round are held from the Quarterfinal Round onward.

Qualifying

The new format will feature 24 teams in total.
