The 2024 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup group stage will be played from 20 August to 3 October 2024.[1] A total of 10 teams will compete in the group stage to decide the 4 places in the knockout stage of the 2024 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup.[2]
The draw for the group stage was held on 6 June 2024 at 17:00 EDT (UTC−4) in Miami, Florida. The 10 involved teams were previously seeded into five pots of two teams each based on their CONCACAF Club Ranking as of 3 June 2024,[1][3] except for the teams in pot 5, which was reserved for the champions and runners-up of the 2024 CFU Club Shield.
For the group stage, the 10 teams were drawn into two groups (Groups A and B) of five containing a team from each of the five pots. Teams from pot 1 were drawn first and were placed in the first position of their group, starting with Group A and then Group B. The same procedure was followed for teams from pots 2, 3, 4 and 5, and they were placed in positions 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, within the group to which they were drawn. No restrictions were applied at the time of drawing the groups.[1]
In the group stage, each group is played on a single home-and-away round-robin basis, with teams playing against each other once, for a total of four matches per team (two home and two away). The teams are ranked according to the following criteria (Regulations Article 12.8.1).:[2]
