We're just about one year removed from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which means that the qualifying matches for the competition are ramping up. Up next for Concacaf is the first leg of the second round of qualifiers to see which teams will join the United States, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Jamaica in the third round.

Six teams are competing for the three final spots in the Concacaf Octagonal -- previously known as the Hexagonal, but the field has now been expanded to eight teams. Those six competing squads are Saint Kitts and Nevis, El Salvador, Haiti, Canada, Panama, and Curaçao.

Saint Kitts and Nevis are taking on El Salvador, Haiti will take on Canada, and Panama will face Curacao over two legs, beginning Saturday. You can catch all the action on Paramount+ where you'll not only get a chance to see these Concacaf qualifiers, but also every road game of the USMNT during qualifiers outside of the United States and Mexico.

But let's not get too ahead of ourselves, here's how the second round shapes up.
