2020 CONCACAF U-20 Championship

The format for qualification has changed since the 2016 edition (qualifying was not played in 2018). The qualifying competition no longer features Caribbean and Central American zones. The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Ranking as of June 2019. A total of 33 teams entered the tournament. The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 17 entrants had to participate in qualifying, where the four group winners advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament. ;Notes ==Venues==
