Apart from the six teams which participated in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying hexagonal, the other 34 teams (Guatemala could not enter due to FIFA suspension after missing the deadline of 1 March 2018)[3] entered qualifying. The format for the qualifying stage was based on the Pots System, developed by Chilean Leandro Shara.[4] Under that format, the teams are divided into pots for scheduling purposes only, and all teams face rivals from each pot, and all teams are placed under one general standing (without groups). Subsequently, the 34 teams were divided into four pots, and each team played four matches, two home and two away. Based on their results in the general standing, the teams were divided into tiers for the group phase of the inaugural edition of the CONCACAF Nations League:[2][5]

  • The top six teams qualified for League A to join the six hexagonal participants.
  • The next sixteen teams qualified for League B.
  • The last twelve teams qualified for League C to join Guatemala.

Moreover, the top ten teams qualified for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup to join the six hexagonal participants.

Tiebreakers

The ranking of teams in qualifying was determined as follows:[6]

  1. Points obtained in all qualifying matches;
  2. Goal difference in all qualifying matches;
  3. Number of goals scored in all qualifying matches;
  4. Number of away goals scored in all qualifying matches;
  5. Fair play points in all qualifying matches (only one deduction could be applied to a player in a single match):
    • Yellow card: –1 point;
    • Indirect red card (second yellow card): –3 points;
    • Direct red card: –4 points;
    • Yellow card and direct red card: –5 points;
  6. Drawing of lots.

The draw of the qualifying fixtures was held on 7 March 2018, 10:00 EST (UTC−5), at The Temple House in Miami Beach, Florida, United States, directly after the launch event of the CONCACAF Nations League. A computerized pre-draw produced a "master schedule", creating 17 fixtures for each matchday. The teams in each pot were then drawn to the corresponding positions in the schedule (A1–A8, B1–B9, C1–C9, D1–D8). The computer model assured that no teams face each other more than once, and that each team plays two home and two away matches.

The result of the draw was as follows:[8]
