# 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage

The 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage was played from August 5 to October 23, 2014. A total of 24 teams competed in the group stage to decide the eight teams which advanced to the championship stage of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League.

## Draw

The draw for the group stage was held on May 28, 2014, 19:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the InterContinental Hotel at Doral in Miami.
The 24 teams were drawn into eight groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots. The allocation of teams into pots was based on their national association and qualifying berth. Teams from the same association could not be drawn with each other in the group stage, and each group was guaranteed to contain a team from either the United States or Mexico, meaning U.S. and Mexican teams could not play each other in the group stage.

## Seeding

The following were the group stage seeding of the 24 teams which qualified for the Champions League:
Pot A :
| León | Pachuca | Sporting Kansas City | New York Red Bulls |
| Alajuelense | Olimpia | Comunicaciones | Tauro |
| Pot B ||||
