# 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification

The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification or 2025 Gold Cup Prelims is the tournament that determined the final seven teams to qualify for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The matches will take place March 21–25, 2025.

## Format

Unlike the previous Gold Cup Prelims, this edition consisted of a single round in which the 14 involved teams were divided into 7 ties.
The ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the highest-ranked team in each tie hosting the second leg. If the aggregate score is level at the end of the second leg the away goals rule would be applied. If away goals were also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time would be played without taking into account the away goals rule during this time. If still tied after extra time, the tie would be decided by a penalty shoot-out.
The winners qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

## Teams

Fourteen teams qualified for the 2025 Gold Cup Prelims through their participation in the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League. From Nations League A, the four quarter-final losers as well as the third and fourth-placed teams in both Group A and Group B qualified. From Nations League B, the top-two second-place finishers qualified. The final four spots in the qualification tournament went to the winners of the Nations League Play-in between the top-four teams in Nation League C and the fifth and sixth-placed teams of each group from League A.
