Format
The final will be played in a home-and-away two-legged series, with the team with the better performance in previous rounds hosting the second leg. Unlike in earlier rounds, away goals will not be a tiebreaker in the second leg. Instead, 30 minutes of extra time (divided into 15-minute periods) is played if the match is tied after regulation time; a sixth substitute is also permitted during extra time. Additional substitutions are permitted for players showing signs of a concussion or a traumatic head injury after up to three minutes of evaluation by a medical officer. If the score is still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 12.8).{{cite web |title=SCCL Regulations 2023 |pages=24–25 |url=https://stconcacafwp001.blob.core.windows.net/media/lq5blvbb/2023-sccl-regulations_eng.pdf |publisher=CONCACAF |accessdate=May 2, 2023 |archive-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204072426/https://stconcacafwp001.blob.core.windows.net/media/lq5blvbb/2023-sccl-regulations_eng.pdf |url-status=live }}
