List of CONCACAF Champions' Cup and Champions League finals

The CONCACAF Champions League, formerly the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, is an association football competition established in 1962 by CONCACAF. It is considered the most important international competition for North American clubs. Clubs qualify for the Champions League based on their performance in national leagues. The competition has been completed 55 times through the 2020 event, with 57 champions due to a three-way shared title in the 1978 competition.

For the first 30 years of the competition, the final was contested over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium, but in 1992, América defeated Alajuelense in the competition's first single-legged final held at a neutral venue, the City Stadium in Santa Ana, California. The format returned to a two-legged series in 2003. Guadalajara won the inaugural competition in 1962, defeating Comunicaciones 6–0 on aggregate.

Fourteen finals have featured teams from the same national association: Mexico (1996, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019) and Costa Rica (2004). América holds the record for the most victories, having won the competition seven times since its inception. Only four teams, all Mexican, have been able to retain their titles. This includes Monterrey (2011, 2012, 2013), Pachuca (2007, 2008), Cruz Azul on two separate occasions (1969, 1970, 1971 and 1996, 1997) and América (2015, 2016). By far, teams from Mexico have won the most titles, winning 36 competitions out of the tournament's 55 editions. In fact, all other teams combined are still less than Mexico's total. Since the rebranding of the Champions League, the competition has only had Liga MX champions and finalists, except on four occasions, where Major League Soccer teams reached the final (2011, 2015, 2018 and 2020), and lost on each occasion. The last champions before the Champions' Cup was renamed to CONCACAF Champions League were Pachuca, who beat Saprissa 3–2 on aggregate in the 2008 finals. Robinhood hold the record for the most losses in the final of this competition with five. The current champions are Tigres UANL, who defeated Los Angeles FC 2–1 in the 2020 final.

Notes

A. ^ Difficulties in securing passports for Racing players in time for the September final in Guadalajara caused the match to be postponed three times. After Guadalajara's protests to CONCACAF in February 1964, they were declared champions, but after a counter-protest CONCACAF decided in April that both legs of the final should be played within two months. This caused Guadalajara to withdrew because they were on a European tour and Racing were declared champions.

B. ^ Toluca were declared champions after Aurora and Transvaal were ejected from the competition.

C. ^ Cruz Azul were declared champions after Saprissa and Transvaal withdrew.

D. ^ The championship was to be decided by a final hexagonal, but as Cruz Azul and Alajuelense finished level on points, they had to play a playoff.

E. ^ Transvaal were declared champions after Saprissa and Alajuelense withdrew.

F. ^ Universidad de Guadalajara, Comunicaciones and Defence Force were declared joint winners after the tournament was canceled due to administrative problems and disagreement on match dates.

G. ^ The championship was decided by a final triangular.

H. ^ Violette were declared champions after Guadalajara and New York Pancyprian-Freedoms failed to agree on match dates.

I. ^ The championship was decided by a final quadrangular.

J. ^ The championship was decided by a final quadrangular.

K. ^ The championship was decided by a final quadrangular.

L. ^ Score was 2–2 aggregate after 90 minutes and extra time. Pachuca won the penalty shoot-out 7–6.

M. ^ Score was 3–3 aggregate after 90 minutes. Guadalajara won the penalty shoot-out 4–2.
