Ten teams from five CFU member associations qualified for the football tournament. Eight teams from three nations qualified based on results from their domestic leagues and the remaining two teams qualified from the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Shield.{{cite web|url=https://www.concacaf.com/caribbean-cup/news/eight-teams-secure-places-in-2023-concacaf-caribbean-cup/|title=Eight teams secure places in 2023 Concacaf Caribbean Cup|publisher=CONCACAF|date=2 June 2023|access-date=2 June 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/articles/concacaf-caribbean-cup-a-brand-new-tournament-to-crown-the-best-club|title=CONCACAF Caribbean Cup: A brand new tournament to crown the best club|publisher=FIFA|first=Jayanta|last=Oinam|date=27 April 2023|access-date=2 July 2022}}

Originally, Haiti had two berths reserved for its teams in the tournament.{{cite web|url=https://www.concacaf.com/champions-cup/news/concacaf-announces-qualification-criteria-for-confederation-s-expanded-champions-league-starting-in-2024/|title=Concacaf announces qualification criteria for Confederation’s expanded Champions League starting in 2024|publisher=CONCACAF|date=1 June 2022|access-date=2 June 2022}} However, the CONCACAF Council decided that Haitian clubs were not able to qualify and participate in the tournament as their domestic league is inactive since May 2021 due to the ongoing Haitian crisis.{{cite web|url=https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/sports/2023-03-15/austin-fc-upset-is-about-more-than-football-for-haitian-underdogs-violette/|title=Austin FC Upset Is About "More Than Football" for Haitian Underdogs Violette|publisher=The Austin Chronicle|last=Goodman|first=Eric|date=15 March 2023|access-date=19 September 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/s/violette-acs-heroics-versus-austin-should-draw-attention-haiti-situation|title=Violette AC's heroics versus Austin should draw attention to Haiti situation|publisher=Morning Star|last=Nalton|first=James|date=17 March 2023|access-date=19 September 2023}} As a result, the two Haitian berths were awarded one to Dominican Republic and one to Jamaica based on the performance of their clubs in the past five editions of the defunct Caribbean Club Championship.

The entry berths were as follows:

CONCACAF Caribbean Shield: 2 berths (champions and runners-up)
Dominican Republic and Jamaica: 3 Berths
Trinidad and Tobago: 2 berths
