International football competition

The 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League will be the fourth season of the CONCACAF Nations League, an international association football competition involving the men's national teams of the 41 member associations of CONCACAF. The competition will begin with the group stage in September 2024, and will conclude with the Nations League Finals in March 2025. The Nations League also serves as qualification for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, with the exact method still to be announced.[1]

The United States are the three-time defending champions.

Format

CONCACAF Nations League will continue to be played in the format introduced for 2023–24 season.[1]

League A will feature sixteen teams. Four teams will receive a bye to the quarter-finals. The remaining twelve teams will enter the group stage using a Swiss-system tournament format. The teams will be divided into two groups of six teams, with each team playing four matches against group opponents (two at home and two away). The top two teams from both groups will advance to the quarter-finals and will be joined by the four teams which received a bye. The teams advancing from the group stage will be drawn into ties against teams that received a bye, which will be played on a two-legged home-and-away basis. The four quarter-final winners will advance to the Nations League Finals, which are played in a knockout format, consisting of the semi-finals, third place play-off, and final final match to determine the champions.

League B will feature sixteen teams divided into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches in a double round-robin home-and-away format (three at home and three away).

League C will feature nine teams. Teams will be divided into three groups of three teams, with each team playing four matches in a double round-robin home-and-away format (two at home and two away).[1]

Promotion and relegation will continue for the 2024–25 season, with the fifth and sixth-placed teams in League A and the fourth-placed teams in League B being relegated for the next season. The group winners of Leagues B and C will be promoted, as will the best second-placed team of League C.[1]

Entrants

All of CONCACAF's 41 member associations are expected to enter in the competition. Teams will be divided into leagues based on their results of the 2023–24 season. Fifth and sixth placed teams in League A and the fourth-placed teams in League B from the 2023–24 season will move down a league, while the teams which finished top of each group in Leagues B and C will move up, as will the best second-placed team of League C. The remaining teams will stay in their respective leagues.
