The United States will face Canada and Cuba in Group A of the first edition of the CONCACAF Nations League, to begin in September, while Mexico is in Group B alongside Panama and Bermuda.
Group C includes Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago and Martinique, with Group D involving Costa Rica, Haiti and Curacao.
The games will be played during the FIFA international breaks in September, October and November, with the group winners qualifying to the semifinals of the tournament next March. The final to decide the first winner of the tournament will be played days later.
CONCACAF's Nations League is organized along the same lines as the UEFA Nations League, with relegation to League B for the last-placed teams in League A and promotion for the top teams in League B. The same relegation system is in place between League C and League B, with 41 teams involved in total.
