Next season's CONCACAF Champions League begins to take shape on Wednesday when the tournament draw sets the Preliminary Round pairings and Group Stage brackets.

The draw at the confederation's New York headquarters will determine the eight Preliminary Round knockout matches as well as composition of the four, four-team groups.

The first leg of the Preliminary Round will be July 27-29 with the second leg a week later. The winners will advance to the six-round Group Stage, which will begin August 17-19.

Motagua of Honduras and San Francisco of Panama will replace Nicaragua's Real Esteli and the yet-to-be determined Belizean champion in next season's CONCACAF Champions League, earning berths due to the latter two countries' lack of a suitable stadium.

The disqualifications of Esteli and the Belizean berth grants an extra slot to both Honduras and Panama based on the performances of clubs from those countries in last season.

Tuesday's announcement leaves only two of 24 berths undecided in the Champions League, the second berth from El Salvador and the Canadian entry, which could be decided Wednesday if Toronto FC defeats the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Only two berths remain undecided for next season's CONCACAF Champions League. Mexico whittled its title chase to between Toluca and Morelia this past weekend while Guatemala and Panama crowned their champions to determine two other spots.
