The 2026/27 Concacaf Nations League is the fifth edition of the national team tournament for North America, Central America and the Caribbean, spreading 41 federations across three tiers: League A, League B and League C. There are nine groups in all, and this simulator lets you fill in every result and watch each table update instantly, free and without signing up.
League A holds 16 teams, but only 12 play the group stage: Mexico, the United States, Canada and Panama, the confederation's top four in the rankings, go straight through to the quarter-finals. The other twelve are split into two groups of six under a Swiss system, so each side plays only four matches, two at home and two away. League B fields four groups of four and League C three groups of three.
The group stage kicks off on 23 September 2026 and the September-October window closes on 6 October. League A quarter-finals run from 9 to 17 November 2026, and the finals follow in March 2027.
Teams finishing fifth and sixth in each League A group drop to League B. The four League B group winners move up to League A, while the bottom side in each group goes down to League C. From League C, the three group winners and the best runner-up are promoted.
The quarter-finals are two-legged ties in November 2026. The four winners reach the Nations League Finals, set for March 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with semi-finals, a third-place match and a single-match final.
This edition is the qualifying route to the 2027 Gold Cup. The four League A quarter-final winners and the four League B group winners go straight into the group stage, while the remaining contenders go through a preliminary round.
The United States took the first three editions: 2019/20, 2022/23 and 2023/24. Mexico ended that run in 2024/25, winning a first title by beating Panama 2-1 in the final at SoFi Stadium.
Alongside Mexico, the United States, Canada and Panama, League A features Costa Rica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Curacao, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic in Group A, plus Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala, Suriname, Martinique and El Salvador in Group B.
