2022 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship qualifying was the qualifying tournament for the 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship. Ten teams competed for four spots in the knockout round of the final tournament, where they will join the 16 highest-seeded teams in the competition.

Teams

The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Ranking as of 1 July 2019.[1] A total of 26 teams entered the tournament after six withdrew due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[2] The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 10 entrants entered in the qualifying tournament, where the winners of the three groups and the best runner-up advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.[2]

The draw for the group stage took place on 11 June 2021, 11:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami.[3] The 16 teams which initially entered qualifying were drawn into four groups of four teams.[4] After six teams withdrew due to COVID-19 restrictions after the draw, the format was changed into two groups of three and one group of four.[2] Based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Ranking, the initial 16 teams were distributed into four pots, as follows:[4]
