The 2022–23 CONCACAF Confederations League was the third season of the CONCACAF Confederations League, a tertiary competition for teams that do not qualify for the SuperLiga or the Champions League.

Bethlehem Soccer Stadium in Upper Bethlehem, U.S. Virgin Islands hosted the final.

Schedule edit

The schedule of the competition is as follows. All matches are played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Scheduled kick-off times starting from the play-off round are 18:45 and 21:00 EST/EDT.

As the 2022 FIFA World Cup takes place in Qatar between 20 November and 18 December 2022, the group stage commenced in the first week of September 2022 and will conclude in the first week of November 2022 to make way for the World Cup.

The draws for the qualifying round started at 12:00 CEST/CET and were held at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City, United States. The group stage draw took place in Nashville, United States at the Music City Center. After a three-year gap of a truncated qualification due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America, the qualification rounds returned to a two-legged series, although the away goals rule was abolished.
