Draw

The final draw is scheduled to be held on April 14, 2023, 12:00 PDT (UTC−7), at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, held alongside the draw for the preliminary round.[4] The teams were split into four pots based on the CONCACAF Rankings of March 2023.[5] The four teams of Pot 1 were automatically seeded, with the United States in Group A as the title holders, Mexico in Group B, Costa Rica in Group C and Canada in Group D. Guests Qatar were placed in Pot 4 alongside the three winners of the preliminary round, whose identity was not known at the time of the draw. In the draw, teams will first be selected from their pots, in order from Pot 1 to 4. Then, a ball will be drawn from a separate group of pots (Pot 5 to 8) to determine which group each team will participate in.[6]
