The Concacaf Gold Cup will have a new format for its 2027 edition.

Sixteen teams will play in the tournament which will now have two groups of 8, replacing the previous format of four groups of four.

The official draw will determine the group placements with teams playing four games instead of three.

Each group will be divided in four ranking bands, with two teams in each band.

A pre-determined schedule will ensure that every team faces one opponent from each of the four ranking bands.

At the end of group play the top four teams from each group will advance to the quarter-finals.

Teams will qualify for the Gold Cup through the Nations League and the Concacaf preliminaries.

Jamaica failed to get out of the group stage at the last tournament.
