2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League group stage
The 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League group stage was played from August 4 to October 22, 2015. A total of 24 teams competed in the group stage to decide the eight teams which advanced to the knockout stage of the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League.[1]

Draw
The draw for the tournament was held on June 1, 2015, 20:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the New World Center in Miami Beach, Florida.[2] The 24 teams were drawn into eight groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots.[3]
For the draw, the 24 teams were seeded into three pots. Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) were placed in the same pot such that they could not be drawn into the same group:[4]
- Pot 1 contained two teams from El Salvador, one team each from Canada, Nicaragua, and Belize, and three teams from the Caribbean.
- Pot 2 contained two teams each from Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Panama.
- Pot 3 contained four teams each from Mexico and the United States.
Format
In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners of each group advanced to the quarterfinals.[1]
Tiebreakers
The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers would be applied in the following order (Regulations Page 8, Tie-Breaker Procedures):[1]
- Greater number of points earned in matches between the teams concerned;
- Greater goal difference in matches between the teams concerned;
- Greater number of goals scored away from home in matches between the teams concerned;
- Greater goal difference in all group matches;
- Greater number of goals scored in group matches;
- Greater number of goals scored away in all group matches;
