The draw for the third round was held as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Draw on 25 July 2015, starting 18:00 MSK (UTC+3), at the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, Saint Petersburg, Russia.[1][3][4]

The seeding was based on the FIFA World Rankings of August 2014 (shown in parentheses).[5] The twelve teams were seeded into two pots:

  • Pot 3 contained the teams ranked 1–6 (i.e., Jamaica and Haiti, ranked 7–8 in the CONCACAF entrant list, plus four higher-ranked second round winners).
  • Pot 4 contained the teams ranked 7–12 (i.e., six lower-ranked second round winners).

Each tie contained a team from Pot 3 and a team from Pot 4, with the order of legs decided by draw.

Note: Bolded teams qualified for the fourth round.
