USMNT's road to 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar begins September 2 in El Salvador at Paramount +
The final round of CONCACAF, which qualifies for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, kicks off this international break. The road to Qatar to the United States begins from home on September 2 against El Salvador on Paramount + 22.00 ET and ends March 30, 2022 in Costa Rica (also on Paramount +).
Paramount + is home to up to 79 matches (including away matches for USMNT) on its platform. Below you will find the full schedule and qualifying format for the World Cup for CONCACAF.
Last round (September 2021-March 2022)
The top five teams based on FIFA rankings automatically begin their World Cup qualifying campaign in the third and final octagonal round: Mexico (11), USA (22), Costa Rica (46), Jamaica (48) and Honduras (62). Participants in them will be the winners of the second round pair: El Salvador, Canada and Panama.
The third round of the CONCACAF qualifier begins on Thursday, September 2, and ends on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Each team gets a home game and an away game against all seven opponents. After the 14 match days, the top three teams in the standings beat their tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The team in fourth place advances to the intercontinental playoffs, where it will either be paired against a team from AFC (winner of the playoffs in the fourth round), CONMEBOL (fifth place) or OFC (winner of the second round).
To rec, here is the key:
- Eight nations in a group playing home and away matches (14 matches)
- Qualifying matches played between September 2021 and March 2022
- The top three teams qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar
- The team in fourth place advances to the playoffs between the Confederations
