Format Reclassification All rounds were played in a single game hosted by the higher seed If a game ended in a draw, it proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out.
Liguilla Teams were re-seeded each round. The winners of the Reclassification matches were seeded based on their ranking in the classification table. Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches advanced. No away goals rule is applied in neither round; if the two teams were tied on aggregate, the higher-seeded team advanced. In the final, if the two teams were tied after both legs, the match would go to extra time and, if necessary, a shoot-out. Both finalists qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League.
Reclassification Summary Matches took place on 7–8 May 2022.
