The 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League C is the third and lowest division of the 2024–25 edition of the CONCACAF Nations League, the fourth season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 41 member associations of CONCACAF.[1] It will be held from 4 September to 15 October 2024.[2][3]
Format
[edit]League C maintains the same format introduced for the 2023–24 season,[4] but this edition will include a play-in round after the conclusion of the groups. In addition, the group matches will be played at centralized venues instead of the previous home-and-away format.[1]
The nine participating teams were split into three groups of three teams and each group is played on a double round-robin basis, with matches being held in the official FIFA match windows in September and October 2024. The first-placed team of each group and the best second-placed team among all groups will not only be promoted to the 2026–27 CONCACAF Nations League B, but will also advance to the play-in round, in which they will join four teams from League A in order to compete to qualify for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament.[1]
2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification
[edit]As announced by CONCACAF in February 2023, the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League will serve as a qualifier for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[4] League C teams may not qualify directly for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup final tournament but may qualify via the Gold Cup qualification tournament (also called CONCACAF Gold Cup prelims).[5]
Teams
[edit]A total of nine national teams contest League C, including the five sides that failed to be promoted last season and four teams relegated from the 2023–24 League B.
Team changes
[edit]The following are the team changes in League C regarding the 2023–24 season:

Seeding

Draw
[edit]The draw for the groups composition was held on 6 May 2024, 19:00 EDT (UTC−4), in Miami, Florida, United States, where the nine involved teams were drawn into three groups of three.[1] The draw began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A and then selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and placing them into groups B and C in sequential order. The draw continued with the same procedure done for the remaining pots.
The draw resulted in the following groups:[7]

Groups
[edit]In an effort to reduce the travel disruptions faced by teams in previous editions, CONCACAF decided that the League C matches scheduled in each FIFA match window will be held at a centralized venue.[1]
In this way, the National Association of the second-highest ranked team in each group, once the draw has been made, will be responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled for the September FIFA match window. Likewise, the top-ranked team in each group, once the draw has been made, will be responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled in the October FIFA match window. If a National Association is unable to host matches, Concacaf reserves the right to select another venue. The match schedule (including days) was predetermined to provide proper rest time in between matches.[5]
| Mon 2 | Tue 3 | Wed 4 | Thu 5 | Fri 6 | Sat 7 | Sun 8 | Mon 9 | Tue 10 |

The fixture list was confirmed by CONCACAF on 23 May 2024.[2][3][9] All match times are in EDT (UTC−4) as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).[10][11]
Group A
[edit]By regulation, September's Group A matches had to be held in Bahamas as the second highest-ranked team in the group. However, the Bahamas was unable to host the matches and CONCACAF designated the U.S. Virgin Islands as the venue.[12]
