CONCACAF Champions League Format
The Otter commented on The Otter's issue in [North America] (Official) League Specific Issues
I’m not sure it’s such an easy fix with the new way the competition works. I’d like to think it will come in the winter update, but chances are we may not see a true fix until the next game -

Upon starting a save with St. Louis SC, i found that there was no General Allocation Money given to the club. On the finances section it says the should have 1.6m for 2023 when the season starts, but this then doesnt happen until the start of the 2024 season, please see attached screenshot

Just simmed through 4 years in North America to look at the new competition format that comes into place. It would appear that the new system that has been implemented is an old version of the new format. Back in early 2021 it was announced that the CCL would increase to the system we see on FM23, 50 teams split into regional groups of 5 teams. Late in 2021 CONCACAF announce the regional tournaments of the CONCACAF nations would be updated inline with a new CCL format, consisting of a pure knockout tournament featuring just 27 teams. It appears that the old system has been implemented and not the newer announced one, which would also explain what the new rules for the Leagues cup havent also been updated at the right time
