How do the FIFA World Cup 2022 CONCACAF qualifiers work?
The FIFA World Cup 2022 CONCACAF qualifiers will be played over three stages. The initial group stage sees the CONCACAF member nations ranked 6-35 split into six groups of five teams. Each team will play every other team in their group once for a total of four matches, two played at home and two played away.
The six group stage winners will progress to the second stage where they will face-off against each other in a direct elimination format over twe legs.
The three winning teams from stage two will progress to the third and final stage where they will join the CONCACAF nations ranked 1-5. These eight teams will then play each other home and away, with each team playing 14 matches in total. The top three finishing teams will qualify directly for the FIFA World Cup 2022 finals. The fourth-placed team will qualify for the FIFA inter-confederation play-off, scheduled to be played in June 2022, as a last chance to qualify for the tournament.
