All 41 CONCACAF national teams entered the competition. The four teams which finished bottom of each group in Leagues A and B from the 2019–20 season moved down a league, while the four teams which finished top of each group in Leagues B and C moved up. The remaining teams stayed in their respective leagues.
The draw for the league phase took place in Miami, Florida, United States on 4 April 2022, 19:00 EDT.[4] Each of the League's draws began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A of their respective league. The draws continued by selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and positioning them into Groups B, C and D in sequential order. The same procedure was done for the remaining pots. Teams were seeded into pots using CONCACAF Ranking.[6]
The four teams were ranked based on their results in the group stage to determine the semi-final matchups. The first seed played the fourth seed and the second seed played the third seed.[7]
Nicaragua was disqualified from the 2023 Gold Cup and Nations League A promotion due to fielding an ineligible player. Trinidad and Tobago took their place in both tournaments as the best runner-up in League B.[8]
