The groups and format for the 2024 edition were announced on January 31. Unlike the 2023 edition, only two regions are used for the tournament's group stage, divided into eight groups in the West and seven in the East. The 45 teams in the group stage are seeded in a combined table based on the 2023 regular season for MLS teams and most recent 34 matches in the Clausura and Apertura for Liga MX teams. Seeding for the group stage was divided into three pots (named "tiers") with geographical balance also considered. MLS Cup 2023 champions Columbus Crew and the top Liga MX team by aggregate points in 2023, Club América, both earned a bye to the round of 32.
All matches will be played in the United States and Canada at MLS venues. The top four teams in the Liga MX table used for seeding—Club América, CF Monterrey, C.D. Guadalajara, and Tigres UANL—have hub privileges that allow them to be the designated home team in certain rounds. The predetermined venues for the hubs were announced on March 14, 2024.
