The schedule for the 3rd round of Concacaf World Cup Qualifying has officially been confirmed, setting the stage for Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz as they aim for a spot at the historic 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Drawn into Group B, the Reggae Boyz will begin their final round campaign with an away clash against Bermuda on September 5, with kick-off set for 5 PM Jamaica time. Just four days later, they’ll return home to face regional rivals Trinidad and Tobago on September 9 at 7 PM, in what promises to be one of the marquee matchups of the group.
Jamaica’s road to qualification continues in the October window, beginning with an away fixture against Curaçao on October 10, followed by a home tie against Bermuda on October 14. In the penultimate round of matches, the Boyz will travel to Trinidad and Tobago on November 13, before closing out the group with a home match against Curaçao on November 18.
Kick-off times and venues for the October and November matches will be announced in the coming weeks. Notably, all final round matches on November 18 will kick off simultaneously, in keeping with FIFA regulations aimed at ensuring competitive fairness.
The six-match schedule is part of a tightly contested final qualifying round that will see the top team from each group earn direct qualification to next summer’s FIFA World Cup. These three group winners will join tournament co-hosts Canada, Mexico, and the United States, who have already secured their spots.
The two best second-place teams from the three groups will advance to the FIFA Intercontinental Playoff in March 2026, where they’ll compete for two additional spots at the tournament.
