Miami, FL (Wednesday, October 9, 2024)—Concacaf has announced that Hollywood Park in Inglewood, CA, has been selected to host the next two editions of the Concacaf Nations League Finals. The competitions’ matches will be played at the world-renowned SoFi Stadium, one of the host venues for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and home to the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and Chargers. In 2023, the stadium also hosted a sold-out Concacaf Gold Cup Final between Mexico and Panama.  

The fourth edition of the Concacaf Nations League Finals will take place from March 20 to 23, 2025. The festivities will begin on Thursday, March 20, with the Semifinal matches. This will be followed by a concert featuring a top artist at YouTube Theater. The event will conclude with the Third-Place Match and the Final on Sunday, March 23, where a new CNL Champion will be crowned. 

Starting on Thursday, ahead of the Semifinals, fans will also be able to enjoy a Concacaf Nations League Finals Fan Zone at the Hollywood Park grounds. Fans will have the opportunity to see and take pictures with the CNL Winner’s Trophy and former players, participate in interactive games, and enjoy culinary experiences from the participating nations. 

The fifth edition of the competition is planned for March 2027. 

Tickets for the Concacaf Nations League Finals at Hollywood Park will be made available to the public on October 25 at 10 am PT (1 pm ET) via ConcacafNationsLeague.com and Ticketmaster.com.

“We are extremely pleased that SoFi Stadium – one of the best venues in the world – will host the next two editions of our Concacaf Nations League Finals and that Hollywood Park, in which the stadium is based, will host a range of fan activities to celebrate this tremendous competition. The Concacaf Nations League has transformed men’s national team football in our confederation, providing opportunities for all our federations to thrive and compete to reach their next level,” said Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President, Victor Montagliani.

“These compelling events, alongside our 2025 Gold Cup and men’s and women’s club competitions, will take place at a pivotal time for the growth of the game in the region. We look forward to welcoming fans to engage with all of these tournaments and to follow and enjoy the beautiful game in Concacaf,” added Montagliani.

“We are proud to partner with Concacaf and create a Nations League week for the first time ever at Hollywood Park, providing soccer fans from across the region an opportunity to engage on and off the pitch,” said Adolfo Romero, Vice President Programming and Booking, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park.  “This partnership to host the Nations League Finals at SoFi Stadium and a concert at YouTube Theater further solidifies Hollywood Park as a premier global destination bringing sports and entertainment together for a world-class event like Nations League week.”

The Concacaf Nations League is a national teams competition launched by the Confederation in 2018 to ensure that all 41 Concacaf Member Associations regularly compete in official matches between World Cups. The competition’s 2024/25 edition kicked off during the FIFA International Match Window of September and will continue to play until November, after which the four best teams in League A (the top league) will advance to the Semifinals. The Group Stage and Quarterfinals also serve as the qualifiers for next summer’s Concacaf Gold Cup. 

Together, the Concacaf Nations League Group Stage, Quarterfinals, and Finals provide the participating federations and their players with a great challenge and a critical opportunity to play official matches in their preparations ahead of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, Concacaf World Cup Qualifying, and the FIFA World Cup 2026 itself. 

The Concacaf Nations League is also a fantastic opportunity for even more fans to engage with the sport at a pivotal time for its growth in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. 

The United States is the defending Concacaf Nations League Champion, having won the three previous editions (2021 in Denver, CO, 2023 in Las Vegas, NV, and 2024 in Dallas, TX).
