Format

Reclassification
  • All rounds were played in a single match hosted by the higher seed
  • If a match ended in a draw, it proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out.

Liguilla
  • Teams were re-seeded after each round.
  • The winners of the reclassification matches were seeded based on their ranking in the classification table.
  • Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches advanced.
  • No away goals rule was applied in either round; if the two teams were tied on aggregate, the higher-seeded team advanced.
  • In the final, if the two teams were tied after both legs, the match went to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.
  • Both finalists qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
