The inaugural edition of the Concacaf W Champions Cup is here, with the region’s top women’s club teams set to compete for the title.
The 2024-25 competition started with 11 clubs, and 10 advanced to the group phase after the Vancouver Whitecaps beat Alianza in a play-in match.
The W Champions Cup is divided into two groups of five teams each. After a round-robin group stage, the top two teams in each group will advance to the semifinal round in May 2025.
The tournament will also serve as qualifying for the inaugural FIFA Women’s Club World Cup, which will be played between January and February 2026.
Three NWSL teams will compete in the group stage: defending champions NJ/NY Gotham FC, NWSL Shield winners San Diego Wave, and Shield runners-up Portland Thorns.
The tournament will be broadcast on several CBS Sports platforms, including CBS Sports Network, Paramount+ and CBS Sports Golazo Network.
