2018 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying Hexagonal schedule, standings, results
The 2018 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying Hexagonal is more than halfway complete, with six teams vying for three automatic berths in next year's World Cup in Russia and one place in an intercontinental playoff for another spot in the sport's grand spectacle.
The final round of the region's 10-match qualifying slate began in November 2016 and will run through October 2017. The intercontinental playoff between CONCACAF's fourth-place finisher and Asia's fifth-place finisher will take place in November 2017, prior to December's anticipated World Cup draw, when the 32 nations that qualify will learn their groups.
Here's how the region's standings shape up along with complete results and schedule:
