The CONCACAF Nations League 2019/20 is the first season of the international football Competition for men's national teams of the CONCACAF . The tournament was played from September 5 to November 19, 2019. In March 2021, the top four in League A will determine the tournament winner in a final round.

mode

To divide the teams into the individual leagues, a qualifying tournament over four game days took place before the start of the actual Nations League from September 6, 2018 to March 24, 2019. 34 of the 41 CONCACAF associations took part. The six participants in the fifth qualifying round for the 2018 World Cup , who were automatically placed in League A, and Guatemala , which was still suspended by FIFA at the time and was therefore placed in League C, did not take part. The best 6 teams in the qualification also qualified for League A, the next 16 for League B and the remaining 12 for League C. In addition, the top 10 teams in the qualification qualified for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2019 .

League A consisted of four groups with three national teams each, League B of four groups with four teams each and League C of one group with four teams and three groups with three teams each. Within the leagues, the teams were divided into three or four pots based on their position in the CONCACAF Ranking Index from November 2018. The group draw took place in Las Vegas on March 27, 2019 . Each team competed twice against all group opponents between September and November 2019. The group winners of the lower two leagues rose to the next higher league for the next event, the bottom group of the upper two leagues relegated.

As announced in September 2019, the group stage served as qualification for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2021 . From League A the two best from each of the four groups and from League B the respective group winners qualified directly for the tournament. The remaining four participants will be determined through two play-off rounds with a return leg in March and June 2020, in which the group winners from League C, the group runners-up from League B and the bottom group from League A will take part.

The four group winners of the highest league ( Division A ) play the tournament winner among themselves in the knockout system in a host country. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the final tournament originally planned for June 2020 had to be postponed to March 2021. The final round consists of the semi-finals, the third place match and the final. The pairings are determined on the basis of the results from the group stage. The best group winner plays against the worst and the second best against the third best.
