Format

League C maintained the same format introduced for the 2023–24 season,^[4] but this edition included a play-in round after the conclusion of the groups. In addition, the group matches were played at centralized venues instead of the previous home-and-away format.^[1]

The nine participating teams were split into three groups of three teams and each group was played on a double round-robin basis, with matches being held in the official FIFA match windows in September and October 2024. The first-placed team of each group and the best second-placed team among all groups were not promoted to the 2026–27 CONCACAF Nations League B, but also advanced to the play-in round, in which they joined four teams from League A in order to compete to qualify for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament.^[1]

2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification

As announced by CONCACAF in February 2023, the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League served as a qualifier for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.^[4] League C teams could not qualify directly for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup final tournament, but could qualify via the Gold Cup qualification tournament (also called CONCACAF Gold Cup prelims).^[5]

Teams

A total of nine national teams contested League C, including the five sides that failed to be promoted last season and four teams relegated from the 2023–24 League B.

Team changes

The following were the team changes in League C regarding the 2023–24 season:

Incoming Relegated from Nations League B  Bahamas  Barbados  Belize  Saint Kitts and Nevis

Outgoing Promoted to Nations League B  Aruba  Bonaire  Dominica  Saint Martin

Seeding

The pots were confirmed on 19 April 2024, with the nine League C teams being split into three pots of three teams, based on the CONCACAF Rankings as of 31 March 2024.^[1][6]

Pot 1 Team Rank Pts  Saint Kitts and Nevis 25 779  Belize 29 737  Barbados 33 558

Pot 2 Team Rank Pts  Bahamas 36 479  Cayman Islands 37 393  Turks and Caicos Islands 38 324

Pot 3 Team Rank Pts  British Virgin Islands 39 207  U.S. Virgin Islands 40 155  Anguilla 41 150

Draw

The draw for the groups composition was held on 6 May 2024, 19:00 EDT (UTC−4), in Miami, Florida, United States, where the nine involved teams were drawn into three groups of three.^[1] The draw began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A and then selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and placing them into groups B and C in sequential order. The draw continued with the same procedure done for the remaining pots.

The draw resulted in the following groups:^[7]

Group A Pos Team A1  Barbados A2  Bahamas A3  U.S. Virgin Islands

Group B Pos Team B1  Belize B2  Turks and Caicos Islands B3  Anguilla

Group C Pos Team C1  Saint Kitts and Nevis C2  Cayman Islands C3  British Virgin Islands

Groups

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

In this way, the national association of 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 September 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 October FIFA match window. If a national association was unable to host matches, CONCACAF reserved the right to select another venue. The match schedule (including days) was predetermined to provide proper rest time in between matches.^[5]

The fixture list was confirmed by CONCACAF on 23 May 2024.^[2][3][9] All match times are in EDT (UTC−4) as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).^[10][11]

Group A

By regulation, September's Group A matches had to be held in Bahamas as the second highest-ranked team in the group. However, the Bahamas was unable to host the matches, and thus CONCACAF designated the U.S. Virgin Islands as the venue.^[12]
