The group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League concluded this week, so here are the latest club and league coefficients for the region.

For those of you new to the site and unaware of how the coefficients are calculated, here is an explanation of the methodology.  These are coefficients calculated over the last five seasons of the Champions League, inclusive.  These coefficients are also unofficial, although I understand that CONCACAF have an internal coefficient system similar to these.

First, the country league coefficients.  There is the usual caveat that Puerto Rico and Canada do not have domestic leagues that feed directly into CONCACAF competitions, so their coefficients are more a reflection of the Islanders or whoever emerges from the Canadian Championship.  Mexico continues to have a large lead in the league coefficient table, but the US portion of Major League Soccer has achieved parity with Liga MX through this season’s group stage.

Second, the list of the top 25 clubs on CONCACAF coefficient. Once again the top ten teams are from Liga MX, and Monterrey has overtaken Cruz Azul into top spot thanks to their participation in this season’s Champions League and their perfect record in the group stage.  Toronto FC is the highest ranked non-Mexican side with a coefficient less than half that of Monterrey’s, and Real Salt Lake are the highest-ranked American side.  However, Seattle and Houston could overtake RSL if they advance to the semifinals.
