International football competition

The 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League C was the lowest division of the 2022–23 edition of the CONCACAF Nations League, the second season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 41 member associations of CONCACAF.^[1] It was held from 2 June 2022 to 28 March 2023.^[2]

The top team in each group entered the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament.

Format

League C consisted of thirteen teams. The league was split into one group of four teams and three groups of three teams. The teams competed in a home-and-away, round-robin format over the course of the group phase, with matches being played in the official FIFA match windows in June 2022 and March 2023. The first-placed team in each group was promoted to League B and qualified for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament.

Seeding

The draw for the league phase took place in Miami, Florida, United States on 4 April 2022, 19:00 EDT. Each of the League's draws began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A of their respective league. The draws continued by selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and positioning them into Groups B, C and D in sequential order. The same procedure was done for the remaining pots. Teams were seeded into pots using CONCACAF Ranking.^[3]^[4]
