The top-ranked clubs in the 2025 CONCACAF club rankings include Columbus Crew, who currently sit at the top, with Inter Miami climbing into the top three, and Liga MX clubs still dominating the upper tier of the rankings.
The rankings system is influenced heavily by performance in domestic leagues, regional cups, the Leagues Cup, the CONCACAF Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup, and uses an Elo-based system that updates after each match based on expected versus actual outcomes.
Liga MX is viewed as the strongest league according to CONCACAF’s metrics, with MLS teams ranked just below, and the Canadian Premier League further behind.
The rankings are dynamic and update through the season as clubs outperform or underperform relative to expectations.
Recent official listings confirm the following as top clubs in the region for 2025:
Sources also confirm that performance trends – such as a club exceeding expectations in pivotal matches—can rapidly move a club up the rankings.
This explains movements like Pachuca’s five-place leap after winning the 2024 Champions Cup and Miami’s recent surge.
