CBS Sports to broadcast Concacaf Men's World Cup qualifying matches ahead of 2026 tournament
The road to the FIFA World Cup is in full force as the final round of Concacaf World Cup qualifying will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 4, with Suriname hosting Panama. With Concacaf nations jostling to see who will join hosts United States, Canada, and Mexico, the winners of each group will book their places in the World Cup, while the two best runners-up will go to the inter-confederation playoffs, which are scheduled to take place in March of 2026.
All the action of World Cup qualifying can be caught on Paramount+, and there will also be highlights shown on the CBS Sports Golazo Network and CBS Sports Network. History could be made as nations like Guatemala haven't qualified for a World Cup, and Jamaica's men's team haven't made a World Cup since 1998. Group stage play will conclude on Nov. 18, at the end of the November international window.

Six Central American and six Caribbean teams will compete starting Thursday for the final Concacaf spots for the 2026 World Cup, in a never-before-seen final qualifying round made possible by the absence of the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Three direct tickets to the North American World Cup and two intercontinental playoff spots will be up for grabs by smaller teams, as the region’s powerhouses — the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — are already qualified as host nations for next year’s tournament.
Panama, where soccer now rivals baseball and boxing in popularity, will kick off the round with an away match against Suriname in Group A. The Panamanians are no longer just showing up to qualifiers — in recent years, they’ve become serious contenders. Still, Panama’s coach Thomas Christiansen is trying to manage expectations among fans who now consider qualification the only acceptable outcome.

Suriname vs Panama LIVE Score Updates: The hosts seeking their first World Cup title, Panama seeking their second World Cup title (0-0)
We go into the break with little excitement at Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadium. Panama had the best chance, but the home defense responded strongly.
The rain has also affected the game, making it difficult for both teams to play with precision.
Panama tried to surprise Suriname with a rehearsed free kick, but the shot went wide and posed no danger to the home goal.
Once again, Suriname creates danger with its speed. This time, it managed to get a shot on goal, but goalkeeper O Mosquera saved the shot.
Panamá sigue tocando el balón sin, mientras que Surinam solo se queda parado atrás, esperando un espacio para atacar a velocidad. Las dos selecciones siguen sin tener ninguna clara frente al arco hasta el momento.
