The 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League was the second season of the CONCACAF Nations League, an international association football competition involving the men's national teams of the 41 member associations of CONCACAF. The group phase of the tournament started on 2 June 2022, and the Finals, which decided the champions, was played from 15 to 18 June 2023 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, United States.[2] [3] The Nations League also served as a qualifier for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The United States were the defending champions, and successfully retained their title after defeating Canada 2–0 in the final.
The format for the 2022–23 Nations League was announced by CONCACAF on 27 July 2020. Due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar taking place at the end of the year, the league phase was played in June 2022 and March 2023.[4]

The ranking of teams in each group was determined as follows (Regulations Article 12.3):[5]
All 41 CONCACAF national teams entered the competition. The four teams which finished bottom of each group in Leagues A and B from the 2019–20 season moved down a league, while the four teams which finished top of each group in Leagues B and C moved up. The remaining teams stayed in their respective leagues.
The draw for the league phase took place in Miami, Florida, United States on 4 April 2022, 19:00 EDT. Each of the League's draws began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A of their respective league. The draws continued by selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and positioning them into Groups B, C and D in sequential order. The same procedure was done for the remaining pots. Teams were seeded into pots using CONCACAF Ranking.[6]
