# 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF second round

The second round of CONCACAF matches of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification is expected to take place during the months of June 2024 and June 2025.

## Format

As Canada, Mexico, and the United States qualified for the final tournament as hosts, they will 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 will play 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 will advance to the third round.
