The journey to the FIFA World Cup is well underway, as the final phase of Concacaf World Cup qualifying begins on Thursday, September 4th, with Suriname hosting Panama. As Concacaf nations compete for a spot alongside co-hosts United States, Canada, and Mexico, group winners will secure their place in the World Cup. The two best-performing runner-up teams will advance to the inter-confederation playoffs, scheduled for March 2026.
Fans can catch all the thrilling World Cup qualifying action on Paramount+. Additionally, highlights and updates will be featured on the CBS Sports Golazo Network and CBS Sports Network. This qualifying cycle presents a chance for history to be made, with nations like Guatemala never having qualified for a World Cup, and Jamaica`s men`s team last making an appearance in 1998. Group stage matches will conclude on November 18th, marking the end of the November international window.
