The 2022–23 CONCACAF SuperLiga was the 17th season of North America's secondary club football tournament organised by CONCACAF.

The 2023 CONCACAF SuperLiga Final will be played at Audi Field in Washington, D.C., United States.

This edition of the tournament will feature 32 teams. The knockout stage will still feature 32 teams. 16 teams from group stage, plus eight third place teams in the Champions League and eight group winners from the newly created CONCACAF Confederations League.

Association team allocation
A total of 59 teams from member associations participate in the 2022–23 CONCACAF SuperLiga. The association ranking based on the CONCACF country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association.

Association ranking
For the 2022–23 CONCACAF SuperLiga, the associations are allocated places according to their 2022 CONCACAF country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in North American competitions from 2016–17 to 2020–21.

Distribution
The following is the access list for this season.

In the default access list, the title holders of the CONCACAF Confederations League qualify for the group stage. However, since this berth is not used for this season, the following changes to the access list are made:
 * The cup winners of association 7 enter the group stage instead of the play-off round.
 * The cup winners of associations 13 and 14 enter the play-off round instead of the third qualifying round.

Changes will be made to the access list above, if any of the teams that qualify for the SuperLiga via their domestic competitions also qualify for the Champions League as the Champions League or SuperLiga title holders, or if there are fewer teams transferred from the Champions League due to changes in the Champions League access list. In any case where a spot in the SuperLiga is vacated, teams of the highest-ranked associations in earlier rounds will be promoted accordingly.

Teams
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:
 * RW: Regular season winners
 * CW: Cup winners
 * LC: League Cup winners
 * 4th, 5th, etc.: League position of the previous season
