Format

As Canada, Mexico, and the United States qualified for the final tournament as hosts, they did not take part in the qualification tournament. Thirty teams – the top twenty-eight from the December 2023 FIFA World Ranking and the two first round winners – were drawn into six groups of five teams each, and each team played each other team in their group once with two home matches and two away matches (one-off matches each). The winners and runners-up from each group advanced to the third round.[1]
