May 24 – Jamaica will open against Cuba and Costa Rica will start against Guadeloupe as they chase for places in the 2024/25 Concacaf Nations League quarter finals alongside pre-qualified Mexico, United States, Panama, and Canada.
This will be the fourth edition of the Nations League, the USA won each of the first three editions.
The group matches and quarter finals (played home and away) will be played in the international match windows of September, October, and November 2024.
The Nations League final four will be played in March 2025 at a yet to be announced centralised venue.
There are 16 teams in League A but with four teams pre-qualified, the league has been divided into two groups of four. Each team will play four matches (two home and two away) in a ‘Swiss style’ format.
The top two teams in each group will qualify for the quarter finals.
The Nations League also serves as the qualifier for the 2025 Gold Cup.
The groups are as follows:
Group A: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Suriname, and Guyana
Group B: Jamaica, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Nicaragua, and French Guiana
Quarterfinal pairings will be as follows:
QF: Best-ranked seeded team (Mexico) vs Next second place (2A/2B)
QF: Second-ranked seeded team (United States) vs Best second place (2A/2B)
QF: Third-ranked seeded team (Panama) vs Next first place (1A/1B)
QF: Fourth-ranked seeded team (Canada) vs Best first place (1A/1B)
League B will have 16 teams divided into four groups of four teams playing at a centralised venue per group instead of the previous home-and-away format. The third-best-ranked teams in each group will host the September matches, the second-best-ranked teams will host the October matches, and the best-ranked teams will host the decisive November matches.

Group B: Curacao, Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Saint Martin
Group C: Haiti, Puerto Rico, Aruba, and Sint Maarten
