The format of the tournament was changed as part of a new CONCACAF club competition platform consisting of two tournaments ([[CONCACAF League]] and CONCACAF Champions League) and a total of 31 teams competing during the season (an increase from the previous 24 teams), with 16 teams competing in the newly created CONCACAF League from August to October, and the winners of the CONCACAF League joining the 15 direct entrants competing in the CONCACAF Champions League from February to April.<ref name="faq">{{cite web\|url=http://www.concacaf.com/en/static-pages/concacaf-club-competitions-platform-expansion-fa-qs\|title=CONCACAF Club Competitions Platform Expansion FAQs\|publisher=CONCACAF.com\|access-date=10 April 2018\|archive-date=3 September 2018\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180903114215/http://www.concacaf.com/en/static-pages/concacaf-club-competitions-platform-expansion-fa-qs\|url-status=dead}}</ref> As a result, the 2018 edition was played using a new format that included the removal of the group stage, a reduction in participating teams from 24 to 16, and a total reduction in matches from 62 to 30. [[C.D. Guadalajara\|Guadalajara]] defeated [[Toronto FC]] in the [[2018 CONCACAF Champions League Final\|final]] to win their second CONCACAF club title and their first in the Champions League era, and qualified as the CONCACAF representative at the [[2018 FIFA Club World Cup]] in the [[United Arab Emirates]].<ref name="regulations">{{cite web\|url=https://res.cloudinary.com/concacaf-production/image/upload/v1517893047/championsleage-prod/assets/2018_Scotiabank_CONCACAF_Champions_League_Regulations.pdf\|title=Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League 2018 Regulations – English Edition\|publisher=CONCACAF\|access-date=8 February 2018\|archive-date=8 February 2018\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180208124123/https://res.cloudinary.com/concacaf-production/image/upload/v1517893047/championsleage-prod/assets/2018_Scotiabank_CONCACAF_Champions_League_Regulations.pdf\|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[C.F.

For Canada, the champions of the [[Canadian Championship]], its domestic cup competition which awards the [[Voyageurs Cup]], qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League. While some Canada-based teams competed in MLS, they could not qualify through either the MLS regular season or playoffs. In line with the launch of the new format, which placed the Canadian representative directly in the CONCACAF Champions League beginning in early 2018, the [[Canadian Soccer Association]] announced in March 2017 that a special one-match playoff between the [[2016 Canadian Championship\|2016]] champions [[Toronto FC]] and the [[2017 Canadian Championship\|2017]] champions would be played on 9 August 2017 in Toronto to determine who would qualify for the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League, except in the case that Toronto FC won the 2017 edition, in which the playoff would be unnecessary and Toronto FC would qualify automatically.<ref name="canada">{{Cite web\|url=http://www.canadasoccer.com/canadian-championship-kicks-off-10th-edition-in-may-with-more-canadian-content-p160637&t=championship_article\|title=Canadian Championship Kicks off 10th Edition in May with more Canadian Content\|publisher=CanadaSoccer.com\|access-date=9 March 2017\|archive-date=3 January 2019\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190103130059/https://www.canadasoccer.com/canadian-championship-kicks-off-10th-edition-in-may-with-more-canadian-content-p160637%26t%3Dchampionship_article\|url-status=dead}}</ref> As Toronto FC did later win the 2017 Canadian Championship, the playoff was not played. ===Central America=== Line 61 ⟶ 63: ===CONCACAF League=== {{~~Details~~Further\|2017 CONCACAF League#Qualification}} Besides the 15 direct entrants of the CONCACAF Champions League, another 16 teams (13 from Central America and 3 from the Caribbean) entered the [[CONCACAF League]], a tournament held from August to October prior to the CONCACAF Champions League.<ref name="details">{{cite web\|url=https://www.concacafleague.com/en/league-news-manual/details-revealed-for-newly-launched-scotiabank-concacaf-league\|title=Details revealed for newly launched Scotiabank CONCACAF League\|publisher=CONCACAF League\|date=8 May 2017\|access-date=10 April 2018\|archive-date=17 June 2019\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617154846/https://www.concacafleague.com/en/league-news-manual/details-revealed-for-newly-launched-scotiabank-concacaf-league\|url-status=dead}}</ref> The champions of the CONCACAF League qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League. ==Teams== Line 147 ⟶ 149: \|Semi-finals {{small\|([[2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League\|2014–15]])}} \|- \|rowspan=2\|{{fba\|HON\|1949}} {{nowrap\|{{small\|(1 berth + CL winner)}}}} \|[[F.C.
