# 2020 CONCACAF U-20 Championship qualifying

The 2020 CONCACAF U-20 Championship qualifying stage took place between 15 and 23 February 2020. The teams competed for four of the 20 berths in the 2020 CONCACAF U-20 Championship final tournament.

## Teams

The qualifying format changed from the 2016 edition (no qualifying was held for the 2018 edition), and the teams were no longer divided into regional zones.
The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Ranking as of June 2019. A total of 33 teams entered the tournament. The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 17 entrants had to participate in qualifying, where the four group winners advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.
