The path to continental glory has been laid out. CONCACAF has officially released the match schedule for the September and October window of the 2026/27 CONCACAF Nations League, confirming the highly anticipated matchups for Leagues A, B, and C.
This fifth edition will kick off during the fall 2026 FIFA international match dates and culminate in grand style in March 2027. In addition to the traditional League A Finals, which will take place against the impressive backdrop of SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, we’ll see centralized tournaments for the first time to crown the champions of Leagues B and C.
Below, we break down the format and the groups as determined by the draw held in Miami.
League A: The Road to the Final Four
The top division will feature 16 teams. The 12 lowest-ranked teams will compete in a group stage using the Swiss system (two home games and two away games).
- Group A: Costa Rica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Curaçao, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic.
- Group B: Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala, Suriname, Martinique, El Salvador.
The top two teams from each group will advance to the Quarterfinals (November 2026), where the four pre-qualified powerhouses—Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Panama—already await. The winners of these home-and-away series will secure their spot in the Final Four in Los Angeles.
