The 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament determined the final three teams to qualify for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[2]

The matches took place from 16 to 20 June 2023 at DRV PNK Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.[3]

DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale hosted the matches

Twelve teams participated in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers based on the results of the 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League. These teams were the four group third-placed teams of 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League A, the four second-place finishers from League B and the four group winners from League C.[4]

Trinidad and Tobago were originally set to participate as Nations League B Group C runners-up, but were automatically qualified after Nicaragua were disqualified. Trinidad and Tobago were replaced in the preliminary round by Antigua and Barbuda, the team with the best performance in League B who had not qualified.[5]
