The tournament’s fifth edition will run from August 2 to 10, 2025, featuring group stage play followed by a direct elimination knockout stage across all three Leagues.

“We are thrilled to bring the fifth edition of the Concacaf Boys’ U-15 Championship to three exceptional host countries.

Each of the three leagues will feature a group stage followed by a single-elimination knockout round, with a champion crowned in each league. Team distribution across the leagues will be based on the Concacaf Men’s U-17 Rankings and the final number of participating teams.
