Qualifying Round
The Draw for the qualifying round was held on July 13 at the CONCACAF headquarters in Houston. Teams from the same nation could not be drawn against each other.

Each qualifying match consists of two legs, with each team playing one home and one away. The team with the most combined goals over the two legs wins the match. If the score is even, extra time, followed by penalty kicks will be used to determine a winner. The away goals rule is not used.

The winner of each match qualifies for the First Group Stage. The loser is relegated to the McDonald's Soccer Tournament.

The team listed at team #1 was home first.

First Group Stage
The thirty-two remaining clubs are divided into eight groups with four clubs each. Clubs from the same nation may not be grouped together. Each group consists of two clubs that got into this stage directly and two that had to qualify. Each club plays six matches - one home and one away against each of three opponents. The top two clubs from each group progress to a second group stage, while the third-place club from each group moves to the McDonalds Soccer Tournament round of 32.

The Draw was held on August 9, and the matches were held from August 31–November 17
