Seeding

The draw for the league phase took place in Miami, Florida, United States on 4 April 2022, 19:00 EDT.[2] Each of the League's draws began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A of their respective league. The draws continued by selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and positioning them into Groups B, C and D in sequential order. The same procedure was done for the remaining pots. Teams were seeded into pots using CONCACAF Ranking.[3]
