2026 CONCACAF W Championship

Eight teams will play in the tournament, which will be held in November 2026. They will play a single-elimination tournament consisting of quarter-finals, play-ins (between the losers of the quarter-finals), semi-finals, a third place match and a final. The competition will qualify four CONCACAF teams for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, while two teams will advance to the inter-confederation play-offs. In addition, three teams will qualify for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. ==Qualification==

The two highest-ranked teams from CONCACAF in the FIFA Women's World Ranking of 7 August 2025 received a bye to the final tournament. Twenty-nine teams were drawn into five groups of five teams each and one group of four teams to play single round-robin matches during the international windows of November–December 2025, and February–March and April 2026. The six group winners advanced to the final tournament. ==Venues==
