File:Concacaf Nations League 2022-23.png

All 41 CONCACAF national teams entered the competition. The four teams which finished bottom of each group in Leagues A and B from the 2019–20 season moved down a league, while the four teams which finished top of each group in Leagues B and C moved up. The remaining teams stayed in their respective leagues.

The draw for the league phase took place in Miami, Florida, United States on 4 April 2022, 19:00 EDT. Each of the League's draws began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 1 and placing them in Group A of their respective league. The draws continued by selecting the remaining teams from Pot 1 and positioning them into Groups B, C and D in sequential order. The same procedure was done for the remaining pots. Teams were seeded into pots using CONCACAF Ranking.{{cite news|title=Concacaf confirms procedures for 2022/23 Concacaf Nations League presented by Qatar Airways draw|url=https://www.concacaf.com/nations-league/news/concacaf-confirms-procedures-for-2022-23-concacaf-nations-league-presented-by-qatar-airways-draw/|work=CONCACAF|date=3 April 2022|access-date=3 April 2022}}
