2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF second round
The second round of CONCACAF matches of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification is expected to take place during the months of June 2024 and June 2025.
Format[edit]
As Canada, Mexico, and the United States qualified for the final tournament as hosts, they will not take part in the qualification tournament. Thirty teams – the top twenty-eight from the December 2023 FIFA World Ranking and the two first round winners – were drawn into six groups of five teams each, and each team will play each other team in their group once with two home matches and two away matches (one-off matches each). The winners and runners-up from each group will advance to the third round.[1]
Seeding[edit]
The draw took place on 25 January 2024 in Zürich, Switzerland.[2] Teams were seeded based on the FIFA Men's World Ranking of December 2023 (shown in parentheses).[3]
