The 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be the 14th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the biennial international men's football championship of the North, Central American and Caribbean region organised by CONCACAF. According to the FIFA International Match Calendar, the tournament is scheduled to be played between 7–26 July 2017.[1] The hosts are yet to be confirmed. It is currently planned to be hosted by the United States.
The winner of this tournament will play against the winner of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup in the 2019 CONCACAF Cup, a one-match play-off to determine CONCACAF's qualifier for the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup. If the same team wins both the 2017 and 2019 Gold Cups, it automatically qualifies for the Confederations Cup.
Qualified teams
A total of 12 teams will qualify for the tournament. Three berths are allocated to North America, four to Central America, four to the Caribbean, and one to the winner of the play-off between the two fifth-placed teams of the Caribbean zone and the Central American zone.
