The 2020 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship qualifying stage took place between 21 and 25 August 2019. The teams competed for four of the 20 berths in the 2020 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship final tournament.

Players born on or after 1 January 2003 were eligible to compete.

Teams The qualifying format has changed since the 2018 edition, and the teams are no longer divided into regional zones.

The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Ranking as of 2018. A total of 32 teams entered the tournament. The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 16 entrants had to participate in the qualifying stage, where the four group winners advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.
