2012–13 CONCACAF Champions League championship stage

Qualified teams

The winners of each of the eight groups in the group stage qualified for the championship stage.

Seeding

The qualified teams were seeded 1–8 in the championship stage according to their results in the group stage.

Format

In the championship stage, the eight teams played a single-elimination tournament. Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The away goals rule was used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so a tie was decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg.

• Quarterfinals: Seed 1 vs. Seed 8 (QF1), Seed 2 vs. Seed 7 (QF2), Seed 3 vs. Seed 6 (QF3), Seed 4 vs. Seed 5 (QF4), with seeds 1–4 hosting the second leg
• Semifinals: Winner QF1 vs. Winner QF4 (SF1), Winner QF2 vs. Winner QF3 (SF2), with winners QF1 and QF2 hosting the second leg
• Finals: Winner SF1 vs. Winner SF2, with winner SF1 hosting the second leg
