Bayamón, having won the title in 2022, were the title holders, but did not qualify since they lost in the 2022 Liga Puerto Rico Apertura semifinals against Puerto Rico Sol.
Robinhood won their second title, defeating Golden Lion in the final. Both finalists qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup.
Teams Among the 31 CFU member associations, 16 of them are classified and each may enter one team in the CONCACAF Caribbean Shield.
