CONCACAF announced today that the CONCACAF Nations League, which begins tomorrow, will also serve as the qualification path for the 2021 Gold Cup. After Nations League group play concludes in November, some teams will take part in Gold Cup qualification playoffs depending on the results of the group stage. The four League A group winners advance to the CONCACAF Nations League Finals, which have been moved to June 2020.
Qualification for the 2021 Gold Cup will be determined by the Nations League group stage results. It will begin in League A, where the top 2 teams from each group will earn direct qualification to the 2021 Gold Cup.
