2012–13 CONCACAF Champions League championship stage

The winners of each of the eight groups in the group stage qualified for the championship stage. ==Seeding==

The qualified teams were seeded 1–8 in the championship stage according to their results in the group stage. ==Format==

In the championship stage, the eight teams played a single-elimination tournament. Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The away goals rule was used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so a tie was decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg. ==Bracket==

The bracket of the championship stage was determined by the seeding as follows: • Quarterfinals: Seed 1 vs. Seed 8 (QF1), Seed 2 vs. Seed 7 (QF2), Seed 3 vs. Seed 6 (QF3), Seed 4 vs. Seed 5 (QF4), with seeds 1–4 hosting the second leg • Semifinals: Winner QF1 vs. Winner QF4 (SF1), Winner QF2 vs. Winner QF3 (SF2), with winners QF1 and QF2 hosting the second leg • Finals: Winner SF1 vs. Winner SF2, with winner SF1 hosting the second leg ==Quarterfinals==
