Format

League C consists of 13 teams, the teams from qualifying which finished from 23rd to 34th, along with Guatemala, who were suspended at the deadline to enter qualifying.[2] The league will be split into four groups, with three groups of three teams and one group of four teams. The teams will compete in a home-and-away, round-robin format over the course of the group phase, with matches played in the official FIFA match windows in September, October and November 2019. The four group winners will be promoted to League B for the next edition of the tournament.[3][4][5]

In September 2019, it was announced that the Nations League would also provide qualification for all 16 teams participating in the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup (no teams would qualify automatically).[6] The winners of each of the four League C groups will enter the first round of the Gold Cup Qualifiers.
