The 2026 CONCACAF W Championship qualification, officially called 2025/26 Concacaf W Qualifiers, is a women's football competition that will determine the six teams joining the two teams which will automatically qualify for the 2026 CONCACAF W Championship final tournament in November 2026.^[1]

A total of 39 CONCACAF member associations were eligible to enter the qualifying competition, with Canada and the United States having qualified automatically for the final tournament as the top two teams from CONCACAF in FIFA Women's World Ranking of 7 August 2025. After the withdrawal of Turks and Caicos Islands prior to the draw, a total of 29 teams entered the preliminary phase.^[2]

Notes

The two highest-ranked teams from CONCACAF in the FIFA Women's World Ranking received a bye to the final tournament. 29 teams entering qualification were drawn into six groups to play a single-leg round-robin tournament during the international windows of November–December 2025, and February–March and April 2026. The winners of each group will qualify for the final tournament in November 2026.^[2]

Teams will be ranked based on the following criteria:^[3]

1. Standings points (three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss)
2. Goal differential in all group matches
3. Goals scored in all group matches

   If two or more teams are still tied, then the following criteria are applied:

4. Standings points obtained in matches among the tied teams
5. Goal differential in matches among the tied teams (only applied if more than two teams are tied)
6. Goals scored in matches among the tied teams (only applied if more than two teams are tied)
7. Goals scored away from home in matches between the tied teams (only applied if two teams are tied)
8. Lowest disciplinary score in all group matches:
   • One point for a yellow card
   • Three points for an indirect red card (second yellow card in the match)
   • Four points for a direct red card
   • Five points for a yellow card and a direct red card
9. Drawing of lots by CONCACAF

The draw took place on 20 August 2025, 19:00 EDT, in Miami, United States. The teams taking part in qualifying were seeded based on the FIFA Women's World Ranking of August 2025.^[a] The top six teams in the ranking were pre-seeded and automatically allocated to position 1 in order from groups A to F. The remaining teams were placed into Pots 1 to 4 based on ranking, with each pot containing six teams. Turks and Caicos Islands were originally allocated to Pot 4, but withdrew prior to the draw thus leaving pot 4 with only five teams.
