The 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League A was the top division of the 2023–24 edition of the CONCACAF Nations League, the third season of the international football competition involving the men's national teams of the 41 member associations of CONCACAF. The initial group stage was held from 7 September 2023 to 17 October 2023.{{cite news|url=https://www.concacaf.com/nations-league/news/concacaf-announces-schedule-for-2023-24-concacaf-nations-league-presented-by-qatar-airways/|title=CONCACAF announces schedule for 2023/24 CONCACAF Nations League presented by Qatar Airways|publisher=CONCACAF|date=6 July 2023|access-date=6 July 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://stconcacafwp001.blob.core.windows.net/media/cy2hakto/2023-24-cnl-match-schedule.pdf|title=2023-24 CONCACAF Nations League Match Schedule|publisher=CONCACAF|format=PDF|date=29 June 2023|access-date=6 July 2023}}

This edition of the CONCACAF Nations League A served to determine the six CONCACAF representatives that qualified as guests for the 2024 Copa América in the United States. The four quarter-finals winners and two play-in winners between the four quarter-finals losers qualified to the CONMEBOL tournament.{{cite web|url=https://stconcacafwp001.blob.core.windows.net/media/quihldux/2023-concacaf-nations-league-regulations-eng.pdf|title=CONCACAF Nations League Regulations 2023|publisher=CONCACAF|format=PDF|date=May 2023|orig-date=Approved on 27 April 2023|access-date=2 August 2023}}
Format
Starting from this edition, League A was increased from twelve to sixteen teams and a new quarter-final round was introduced. The group stage became two groups of six teams instead of the four groups of three teams of previous editions, and four teams received a direct bye to the quarter-finals. The twelve lowest-ranked teams in the CONCACAF Rankings as of March 2023 entered the group stage and were divided into two groups of six teams, with each team playing four matches against group opponents (two at home and two away) on a Swiss-system format. The top two teams from each group advanced to the quarter-finals, and were joined by the four top-ranked teams in the CONCACAF Rankings as of March 2023. The quarter-finals were played on a two-legged home-and-away basis, with the four winners advancing to the Nations League Finals and qualifying directly to the 2024 Copa América, while the four losers played two single-legged play-in matches for the last two berths to the CONMEBOL tournament.
The Nations League Finals retained its previous format of a semi-final round, third place play-off and final match to determine the champions.
Teams
A total of sixteen national teams contested League A, including the twelve sides from the 2022–23 season and four promoted from the 2022–23 League B. As a result of the expansion to 16 teams, there were no relegated teams last season, so the twelve teams from the 2022–23 season remained in League A for this edition.

The match-ups were as follows:
- Quarter-final 1 (QF1): Fourth-ranked seeded team vs. Best-ranked group winner
- Quarter-final 2 (QF2): Third-ranked seeded team vs. Next best-ranked group winner
- Quarter-final 3 (QF3): Second-ranked seeded team vs. Best-ranked group runner-up
- Quarter-final 4 (QF4): First-ranked seeded team vs. Next best-ranked group runner-up
Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the order of legs being decided by the four pre-seeded teams that received a direct bye to the quarter-finals (Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States). If the aggregate score is level at the end of the second leg the away goals rule would be applied. If away goals were also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time would be played without taking into account the away goals rule during this time. If still tied after extra time, the tie would be decided by a penalty shoot-out.
Winners advanced to the Nations League Finals and qualified for the 2024 Copa América, while losers advanced to the Copa América qualifying play-offs.
=Summary=
The first legs were played from 16 to 18 November, and the second legs were played on 20 and 21 November 2023.{{cite web|url=https://www.concacaf.com/nations-league/news/concacaf-confirms-23-24-concacaf-nations-league-quarterfinal-pairings/|title=Concacaf confirms 23/24 Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal pairings|publisher=CONCACAF|location=Miami|date=18 October 2023|access-date=18 October 2023}}
