A total of 78 teams from the 41 CONCACAF member associations, and 9 guest associations participate in the 2022–23 CONCACAF Champions League. The association ranking based on the CONCACAF association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

Associations 1–4 each have four teams qualify.
Associations 5–6 each have three teams qualify.
Associations 7–14 each have two teams qualify.
Associations 15–52 each have one team qualify.
The winners of the 2021–22 CONCACAF Champions League and 2021–22 CONCACAF SuperLiga are each given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2022–23 CONCACAF Champions League through their domestic league.

Association ranking[edit]
