1. The top 2 in each group will directly advance to the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup main event.

2. The 3rd/4th place in each group will enter the fourth stage, and the 6 teams that will advance to the 4th stage will be divided into two groups of 3 teams and play a single round-robin match. The winners of the 2 groups receive a ticket to the World Cup. The runners-up from the two groups will play a play-off, with the winner of the tournament from the other continents determining the final World Cup spot.
