Squads

Main article: 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup squads

Before submitting their final squad for the tournament, teams named a provisional squad of up to 60 players. Teams were required to have their 60-player roster submitted to CONCACAF by May 25. Teams were required to name their final squads by June 14.

Draw

The final draw was held on April 14, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, completed alongside the draw for the preliminary round. ^[8] The teams were split into four pots based on the CONCACAF Rankings of March 2023. ^[9] The four teams of Pot 1 were automatically seeded, with the United States in Group A as the title holders, Mexico in Group B, Costa Rica in Group C, and Canada in Group D. Guests Qatar were placed in Pot 4 alongside the three winners of the preliminary round, whose identities were not known at the time of the draw, indicated by PM (Preliminary Match) and their corresponding Preliminary Match number. In the draw, teams were first selected from their pots, in order from Pot 1 to 4. Then, a ball was drawn from a separate group of pots (Pot 5 to 8) to determine final groupings. ^[10]

Pot 1 Team Pts Rank   Mexico (B1) 1,939 1   United States (A1) 1,919 2   Costa Rica (C1) 1,796 3   Canada (D1) 1,743 4
