The fifth edition of the CONCACAF Nations League for the 2026‑27 season held its official draw in Miami on July 23. The draw confirmed the group‑stage line‑ups for Leagues A, B and C and set the match calendar for the September‑October FIFA windows, with the competition concluding in March 2027 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
League A’s 16 teams are split into two groups. Group A comprises Costa Rica, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Curaçao, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
