Perspective

In an effort to reduce the travel disruptions faced by teams in previous editions, CONCACAF decided that the League B matches scheduled in each FIFA match window would be held at a centralized venue.[1]

In this way, the national association of the third-highest ranked team in each group, once the draw was made, was responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled for the September FIFA match window. The second-highest ranked team in each group, once the draw was made, was responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled for the October FIFA match window. Likewise, the top-ranked team in each group, once the draw was made, was responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled in the November FIFA match window. If a national association was unable to host matches, CONCACAF reserved the right to select another venue.[4]

The fixture list was confirmed by CONCACAF on 23 May 2024.[2][3][8] All match times are in EDT (UTC−4) for September and October dates and EST (UTC−5) for November dates, as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).[9][10][11]

Group A

By regulation, the September matches were to be held in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (A3 team after the draw) and the November matches were to be held in Montserrat (A2 team after the draw). However, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines went on to host the November matches, while Bonaire was designated by CONCACAF to host the September matches. Montserrat declined to host any match windows.[12][13]

Group C

Aruba and Puerto Rico swapped the months in which they were originally scheduled to host the matches, with Puerto Rico eventually hosting the September matches and Aruba the October matches. The November matches, which by regulation were to be held in Haiti, were initially planned to be held in Martinique, at the proposal of the Haitian Football Federation, due to the impossibility of organizing them on home soil due to the ongoing Haitian crisis.[18] However, CONCACAF decided to move the matches to Puerto Rico for security reasons related to the 2024 social unrest in Martinique, which also made it impossible to play the matches in that territory.[19]
