Format

Starting from this edition, League C was reduced from thirteen to nine teams which were split into three groups of three teams instead the four groups of previous editions. The teams competed on a home-and-away round-robin basis within each group, with matches being played in the official FIFA match windows in September, October and November 2023. The first-placed team of each group and the best second-placed team among all groups were promoted to the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League B.^[1]

Teams

A total of nine national teams contested League C. As a result of the reduction to 9 teams, there were no teams relegated from League B the previous season, so the nine teams that failed to be promoted last season conformed the League C for this edition.

Team changes

The following were the team changes of League C regarding the 2022–23 season:

Draw

The groups draw was held on 16 May 2023, 19:00 EDT, in Miami, Florida, United States,^[1][5] where the nine involved teams were drawn into three groups of three.

The draw resulted in the following groups:^[6]
