Format[]

The qualifying competition will be held in February and April 2022. Teams will be drawn into six groups of five, and will play two home and two away matches in a single round-robin format. Should more than thirty CONCACAF member associations have entered, a play-in round will be held prior to the qualifying group stage. However, as 30 teams entered qualifying, this was not necessary. The six group winners will advance to the final tournament.[1]

Draw[]

The qualification draw took place on 21 August 2021, 15:00 EDT, in Miami, Florida, United States.[2] The 30 teams were seeded based on the FIFA Women's World Rankings of June 2021 (in parentheses).[3] The top six teams in the ranking were pre-seeded, and automatically allocated to position 1 in order from group A to F. The remaining teams were placed into pots 1 to 4 based on ranking, with each pot containing six teams. Pot 4 contained the two lowest-ranked teams, along with four unranked teams. In the draw, teams were drawn from each pot and placed in order from group A to F. The position teams were drawn into was based on their pot: pot 1 teams were drawn into position 2, pot 2 teams into position 3, pot 3 teams into position 4 and pot 4 teams into position 5.[4]
