Format As Canada, Mexico, and the United States qualified for the final tournament as hosts, they did not take part in the qualification tournament. Thirty teams – the top twenty-eight from the December 2023 FIFA World Ranking and the two first round winners – were drawn into six groups of five teams each, and each team played each other team in their group once with two home matches and two away matches (one-off matches each). The winners and runners-up from each group advanced to the third round.
Seeding The draw took place on 25 January 2024 in Zürich, Switzerland. Teams were seeded based on the FIFA Men's World Ranking of December 2023 (shown in parentheses).
