The 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League B was the second division of the 2024–25 edition of the CONCACAF Nations League, the fourth season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 41 member associations of CONCACAF. It was held from 5 September to 19 November 2024.

This edition of the CONCACAF Nations League B served to determine four teams that would qualify directly for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States and two teams that would qualify for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament.

Format League B maintained the same format introduced since the inaugural edition, except that matches were played at a centralized venues instead of the previous home-and-away format.

The sixteen participating teams were split into four groups of four teams and each group was played on a double round-robin basis, with matches being held in the official FIFA match windows in September, October and November 2024. The first-placed team of each group was promoted to the 2026–27 CONCACAF Nations League A, and the fourth-placed team of each group was relegated to the 2026–27 CONCACAF Nations League C.

2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification As announced by CONCACAF in February 2023, the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League served as a qualifier for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. League B teams could qualify for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup final tournament or the Gold Cup qualification tournament (also called CONCACAF Gold Cup prelims), as follows:

The four group winners (i.e., the four teams that were promoted to League A) qualified directly for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The best two second-placed teams qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament.

Teams A total of sixteen national teams contested League B, including eight sides from the 2023–24 season, four relegated teams from the 2023–24 League A, and four promoted teams from the 2023–24 League C.

Draw The draw for the groups composition was held on 6 May 2024, 19:00 EDT (UTC−4), in Miami, Florida, United States, where the nine sixteen involved teams were drawn into four groups of four. The draw began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A and then selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and placing them into groups B, C and D in sequential order. The draw continued with the same procedure done for the remaining pots.

The draw resulted in the following groups:

Groups In an effort to reduce the travel disruptions faced by teams in previous editions, CONCACAF decided that the League B matches scheduled in each FIFA match window would be held at a centralized venue.

In this way, the national association of the third-highest ranked team in each group, once the draw was made, was responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled for the September FIFA match window. The second-highest ranked team in each group, once the draw was made, was responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled for the October FIFA match window. Likewise, the top-ranked team in each group, once the draw was made, was responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled in the November FIFA match window. If a national association was unable to host matches, CONCACAF reserved the right to select another venue.

The fixture list was confirmed by CONCACAF on 23 May 2024. All match times are in EDT (UTC−4) for September and October dates and EST (UTC−5) for November dates, as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).

Group A By regulation, the September matches were to be held in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (A3 team after the draw) and the November matches were to be held in Montserrat (A2 team after the draw). However, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines went on to host the November matches, while Bonaire was designated by CONCACAF to host the September matches. Montserrat declined to host any match windows.

Group B

Group C Aruba and Puerto Rico swapped the months in which they were originally scheduled to host the matches, with Puerto Rico eventually hosting the September matches and Aruba the October matches. The November matches, which by regulation were to be held in Haiti, were initially planned to be held in Martinique, at the proposal of the Haitian Football Federation, due to the impossibility of organizing them on home soil due to the ongoing Haitian crisis. However, CONCACAF decided to move the matches to Puerto Rico for security reasons related to the 2024 social unrest in Martinique, which also made it impossible to play the matches in that territory.
