Teams

The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Ranking as of 1 July 2019.[1] A total of 26 teams entered the tournament after six withdrew due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[2] The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 10 entrants entered in the qualifying tournament, where the winners of the three groups and the best runner-up advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.[2]

Notes
  1. Non-FIFA members and thus ineligible to play in World Cup.
