The 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup final will be the final match of the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, the 59th season of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean's premier club association football tournament organized by CONCACAF. It will be held at Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca, Mexico, on a date to be determined.
The final will be contested in a single match between C.F. Pachuca of Liga MX and Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer. Pachuca will host the match due to their better record during the competition.[2] The final was originally scheduled to take place on 2 June 2024. However, CONCACAF announced that the date would move if a Mexican team hosts the final due to the 2024 Mexican general election taking place that day.[3] After determining that Pachuca was the host, the date was moved up one day to 1 June.[1]
