The tournament was organized by the CCCF and NAFC, the two predecessor confederations of the current CONCACAF.
Mexican clubs have dominated the CONCACAF Champions Cup/Champions League, winning 39 titles and finishing runners-up 20 times.
The best results in Copa Libertadores were Cruz Azul (2001), Guadalajara (2010), and Tigres UANL (2015) finishing runners-up.
For the CONCACAF Champions Cup, up to nine Mexican football clubs are eligible for entry into the competition.
If the Leagues Cup champion were to win the Apertura or Clausura, then both the Apertura and Clausura champions would qualify to the round of 16; should the Leagues Cup slot(s) have already qualified, then Liga MX would be awarded with one additional slot to be given to the next best non-qualified team in the aggregate table.
