The 2023–24 CONCACAF SuperLiga qualifying phase and play-off round began on 26 July and ended on 31 August 2023.
A total of 27 teams competed in the qualifying system which included the qualifying phase and the play-off round. The 17 winners of the play-off round advanced to the group stage, to join the 31 teams that entered in the group stage. Of the 31 teams that directly entered the group stage, 19 of the teams earned direct berths into the group stage by virtue of their league and Cup play. They were joined by the eleven losers of the Champions League play-off round (five from Champions Path and six from League Path).
