Concacaf published its most recent official ranking of clubs in 2026, and the big surprise is that Cruz Azul is positioned as the best team in the entire region, surpassing historic teams such as América and up-and-coming teams such as Toluca.
This ranking takes into account recent performance in both international tournaments and local leagues, making it a key reference for understanding the current state of soccer in North America. For U.S. Hispanic fans, this ranking also reflects how the rivalry between Liga MX and MLS is evolving towards the 2026 World Cup.
Cruz Azul leads thanks to its consistency
Cruz Azul ‘s first place in the Concacaf 2026 ranking is no coincidence.
The team has shown consistency in both Liga MX and the Concachampions, standing out for its balance between defense and attack.

Liga MX maintains its dominance, but MLS is closing in
Behind Cruz Azul is Toluca in second place, confirming the good momentum of the Diablos Rojos in Mexican soccer.
However, MLS continues to gain ground.
Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC are in third and fourth place, respectively.
This is evidence of the sustained growth of U.S. soccer in recent years.
This trend is relevant to the U.S. Hispanic community, where there is increasing interest in comparing the level of both leagues.
America, one of the most popular clubs among Latinos in the United States, ranks fifth.
Although they continue to be a protagonist, their recent inconsistency has impacted their position in the Concacaf 2026 ranking.

Inter Miami falls and Chivas reappears in the Top 10
