Qualified teams
editThe format for qualification had changed since the 2017 edition. The qualifying competition no longer featured Caribbean and Central American zones.
The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Men’s Under-17 Ranking as of May 2017. A total of 35 teams entered the tournament. The sixteen highest-ranked entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked nineteen entrants had to participate in qualifying, where the four group winners advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.[1][2]
