Kickoff Times and Venues
The first leg of Mexico's Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Jamaica, tracked on our Mexico vs Jamaica live hub, is set for Saturday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. ET at the National Stadium in Kingston.

What Is at Stake
Concacaf sends the aggregate winner, the team with the better combined score over both legs, to the Nations League Finals on March 25–28, 2027, in Los Angeles. That team also qualifies for the 2027 Gold Cup, while the loser can still reach the tournament through a preliminary phase, known as the Gold Cup prelims.
If the teams are level on aggregate, away goals count first, then extra time and penalties.
