2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)

This qualification campaign is particularly notable as it offers three direct berths to the World Cup finals, plus two additional slots accessible through an inter-confederation playoff. This makes the competition intensely competitive, as numerous nations vie for a limited number of coveted spots on the world's biggest football stage.

The qualifiers have been a prominent topic in sports news recently as the initial group stage reached its critical final matches in mid-November. Media coverage has highlighted decisive games, including those involving Jamaica, Curaçao, Honduras, and Costa Rica, which were pivotal for determining which teams would advance to the next round. The conclusion of this phase has brought increased focus on the standings and the teams leading the race for qualification.
