The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be the 18th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the biennial international men's soccer championship of the North, Central American and Caribbean region organized by CONCACAF. Canada and the United States will host the tournament, which will begin on June 14, 2025. The final is scheduled to be played on July 6, 2025, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.[2]

The venues in the United States are mainly in the western part of the country in order to avoid scheduling conflicts with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup which will be held around the same time as the Gold Cup on the East Coast.[3][4]

Mexico is the defending champion, having won its record-extending 9th title in 2023 after defeating Panama 1–0 in the final on July 16 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.[5]

Location of the host cities of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

CONCACAF announced the 14 host venues for the 2025 Gold Cup on September 25, 2024. They included a mix of soccer-specific stadiums primarily occupied by Major League Soccer teams and larger American football stadiums. BC Place in Vancouver was the sole venue outside of the United States. The venues were mostly limited to the Western United States to avoid conflicts with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup happening on the East Coast at the same time.[6] CONCACAF announced that it had awarded the tournament final to NRG Stadium in Houston on October 30, 2024.[2]

Qualification

Further information: 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League and 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification

In February 2023, CONCACAF announced that the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League would serve as qualification for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[7][8] All 41 member associations of CONCACAF participated in the Nations League, which is divided into three tiers. The four quarterfinal winners of Nations League A and the four group winners of Nations League B qualified directly for the Gold Cup. A Gold Cup preliminary round will be held in March 2025 where seven additional teams will qualify for the main tournament.

On December 19, 2024, it was announced that Saudi Arabia would be invited as a guest team for the 2025 and 2027 tournaments.[9]

It was previously reported that the tournament would expand to 24 teams for this edition (16 CONCACAF teams and 8 invited guest teams) to provide increased competition for North American teams Mexico, Canada, and the United States; these three teams will not play in the World Cup qualifying cycle due to their automatic qualification as hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[10][11] However, due to lack of international support from competitive nations, the idea was scrapped and CONCACAF followed their traditional format.
