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 places in the knockout stage of the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League.[1]
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]
The seeding was changed from previous seasons where teams from the same association were placed in different pots.
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.
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, II. C. Tie-Breaker Procedures):[1]
The matchdays were August 4–6, August 18–20, August 25–27, September 15–17, September 22–24, and October 20–22, 2015.[5][6]
