CONCACAF is launching a new national team competition called the League of Nations that will begin play in September of 2018.

The matches will be played on FIFA fixture dates in place of many friendlies and will feature all 41 member associations in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. 

It will be divided into three divisions based on "sporting level" with promotion and relegation between the divisions. The League of Nations will also serve as a qualifying competition for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and will feed into a ranking system that will be used for seeding in World Cup qualifying.

There is a question of how much countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, and the U.S. will get out of such a competition, as it would appear to further limit opportunities to play nations from other confederations.
