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.
