Latest: Mexico-Jamaica Tie Opens in Kingston
Two Legs for a Place in the Final Four
Mexico vs Jamaica sees the defending champion open a two-legged tie at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, November 14, at the National Stadium in Kingston. The return leg follows on Tuesday, November 17, at Estadio Monterrey, home of Monterrey's Rayados club.
The team with the better combined score over both legs reaches the Final Four, the tournament's last four, on March 25-28, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. It also earns a place in the 2027 Gold Cup, the continental championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Concacaf, the governing body for soccer in that region, confirmed the dates, times and venues. Kingston keeps the same clock as US Eastern Time in November, so the 7 p.m. Mexico City start is 8 p.m. ET.
Mexico skipped the group stage as one of the four highest-ranked sides in League A, the top tier of the competition. The others are the United States, Canada and Panama, who face Haiti, Guatemala and Curaçao in the other quarterfinals.
A New Coach Faces His First Official Match
Rafael Márquez, Mexico's new head coach, takes charge of his first official match. His four friendlies so far produced two draws and two defeats, and Mexico has not won under him.
The tie is also a test of Mexico's title defence. Mexico won the 2024-25 edition, its first title in the competition, and is now seeking back-to-back championships.

History and Stakes
Jamaica finished second in Group B, level on points with two rivals, after a 1-1 draw in Honduras on October 5. The two sides have met twice in this competition, with a 1-1 draw in Kingston on June 14, 2022, and a 2-2 draw in Mexico on March 26, 2023.
Jamaica's last win over Mexico was 1-0 in a Gold Cup semifinal on July 23, 2017, on an 88th-minute Kemar Lawrence free kick. To our knowledge Jamaica has not beaten Mexico since then.
The first leg gives Mexico a chance to take an advantage to Monterrey three days later. A draw in Kingston would leave the return leg wide open.

About US$12,800 had been traded on that market at 3:22 a.m. ET on November 12, and there is no market on the Jamaica tie itself.
