Miami, FL (Friday, July 24, 2026) – Concacaf has announced the official September-October match schedule for the 2026/27 Concacaf Nations League, confirming the dates and matchups for every League A, B, and C match across the window.
The fifth edition of the tournament will be played during the FIFA Match Windows of September-October and November 2026, before culminating in March 2027 with the Concacaf Nations League Finals for League A and, for the first time, centralized Championships for Leagues B and C.
The matchups were determined through the official draw conducted on Thursday, July 23, in Miami, Florida.
League A: 16 Teams (Group Stage and Quarterfinals)
League A will feature 16 national teams, including a Group Stage and Quarterfinals. The 12 lowest-ranked League A teams, based on the Concacaf Rankings, will compete in a Swiss-style Group Stage format, split into two groups of six teams each. Every team will play four matches – two home and two away.
Group A: Costa Rica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Curaçao, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic
Group B: Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala, Suriname, Martinique, El Salvador
Following Group Stage play in the September-October FIFA Match Window, the top two finishers from each group will advance to the Quarterfinals, joining the four pre-seeded League A teams – Mexico, United States, Canada, and Panama – who receive direct entry.
The quarterfinal matchups will be determined based on the Concacaf Ranking following the September-October FIFA Match Window and the results of the League A Group Stage. The four pre-seeded teams will be ranked 1 through 4 according to the Concacaf Ranking at that time, while the group winners and runners-up will be ranked based on their Group Stage performance. The matchups will be set as follows:
QF1: Fourth-ranked seeded team vs Best first place (1A/1B)
QF2: Third-ranked seeded team vs Next best first place (1A/1B)
QF3: Second-ranked seeded team vs Best second place (2A/2B)
QF4: Best-ranked seeded team vs Next best second place (2A/2B)
The Quarterfinals will be played in a home-and-away series in November 2026, with aggregate winners advancing to the Concacaf Nations League Finals, to be played at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.
League B: 16 Teams (Group Stage)
League B will feature 16 teams divided into four groups of four. During the September-October and November FIFA Match Windows, each team will play home-and-away matches against every opponent in its group, for a total of six matches per team.
Group A: Guyana, Puerto Rico, Dominica, Cayman Islands
Group B: Guadeloupe, Bermuda, Saint Lucia, Barbados
Group C: Cuba, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Bonaire
Group D: French Guiana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Sint Maarten
Group Stage matches will be played at centralized venues, a format change introduced in the last edition to reduce travel demands and support Member Associations in delivering the highest possible standards of competition. The matches in September and October will be hosted by the third- and second-highest-ranked teams in each group, respectively, with the November matches hosted by the highest-ranked teams.
Following Group Stage play, the four group winners will advance to the League’s Championship, where they will compete for the title of League B Champions.
League C: 9 Teams (Group Stage)
League C will feature 9 teams divided into three groups of three. During the September-October FIFA Match Window, each team will play every team in its group twice, for a total of four matches per team. Matches will also take place at centralized venues, with the highest-ranked team in each group hosting them.
Group A: Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands, British Virgin Islands
Group B: Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Anguilla
Group C: Saint Martin, Bahamas, US Virgin Islands
Following Group Stage play, the three group winners and the best second-place finisher will advance to the League’s Championship, where they will compete for the title of League C Champions.
