After single round-robin play, the group winners (four teams in total) will advance to the Semifinals.

The Semifinal winners (two clubs) will dispute the tournament's final and secure a berth in the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, which will serve as an opportunity to qualify for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

All match times are in AST (UTC−4) and local times are in parentheses, as listed by CONCACAF.
