MIAMI, Fla. — The road to the 2027 Concacaf Nations League Finals runs through four home-and-away quarterfinal series. From Nov. 12–17, eight national teams compete for four spots in Los Angeles, where the Finals will be played at SoFi Stadium, March 25–28, 2027.
The quarterfinals pair defending champion Mexico against Jamaica, three-time champion the United States against Haiti, Canada against Guatemala, and Panama against Curaçao. The field features eight of Concacaf’s ten highest-ranked national teams, including all six of the region’s representatives at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The first legs are played Nov. 12–14, followed by the decisive return matches Nov. 15–17. The series open Thursday, Nov. 12, with Curaçao hosting Panama in Willemstad. Guatemala hosts Canada on Friday in Guatemala City, and Saturday brings a doubleheader: Haiti faces the United States in Miami, and Jamaica hosts Mexico in Kingston. The second legs close Tuesday, Nov. 17, with the United States hosting Haiti in Cincinnati and Mexico hosting Jamaica in Monterrey.
The stakes go beyond the Finals. The four series winners also qualify directly for next summer’s revamped Concacaf Gold Cup. The Finals themselves will mark the fifth edition of the competition: the United States claimed the first three titles (2021, 2023 and 2024), before Mexico lifted the trophy for the first time in 2025, beating Panama 2-1 in the final at SoFi Stadium.
Once the quarterfinals conclude, the four advancing teams will be ranked 1–4 based on points, goal difference and goals scored. The semifinals, on Thursday, March 25, will pair the top-ranked team against the fourth (1 vs. 4) and the second against the third (2 vs. 3). The third-place match and the final follow on Sunday, March 28.
Tickets for the 2027 Finals go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 10:00 a.m. PT via CNLFinals.com/tickets.
