The Final Round of the Concacaf Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup features 12 national teams divided into three groups of four. Each team will compete in a home-and-away round-robin format, playing six matches (three at home and three away) across three FIFA Windows.

Group APanama, El Salvador, Guatemala, Suriname

Group BJamaica, Curacao, Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda

Group CCosta Rica, Honduras, Haiti, Nicaragua

At the conclusion of the Final Round (36 matches in total), the top team from each group will earn direct qualification to next summer’s FIFA World Cup, joining tournament co-hosts Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

In addition, the two best second-place finishers from across the three groups will advance to a FIFA Intercontinental Playoff, where they will compete for two additional FIFA World Cup berths. The FIFA Intercontinental Playoff is scheduled to take place in March 2026.

For the first time in history, the Concacaf region could be represented by as many as eight teams in a men’s FIFA World Cup.
