The top four teams in the Nations League B qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the next best four teams entered the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification.

Format

League B consisted of sixteen teams. The league was split into four groups of four 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 A and qualified for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, with the second-placed teams entering the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament. As a result of a format change, no teams were relegated this season.^[3]

Team changes

The following were the team changes of League B from the 2019–20 season:

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.^[4][5]
