League A culminated with the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals in June 2023 to crown the champions of the CONCACAF Nations League.[2] These matches were played at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, United States.[3]

The top eight teams qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the remaining four teams entered the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification.

Format

edit

League A consisted of twelve teams. The league was split into four groups of three teams. The teams competed in a home-and-away round-robin format over the course of the group phase, with matches being played in the official FIFA match windows in June 2022 and March 2023. The four group winners qualified for the Nations League Finals. As a result of a format change, no teams were relegated this season.[4]

The draw for the 2022-23 CONCACAF Nations League took place in Miami, Florida, United States on 4 April 2022, 19:00 EDT. Each of the League's draws began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A of their respective league. The draws continued by selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and positioning them into Groups B, C and D in sequential order. The same procedure was done for the remaining pots. Teams were seeded into pots using CONCACAF Ranking.[5][6]
