Format
League C maintains the same format introduced for the 2023–24 season, but this edition will include a play-in round after the conclusion of the groups. In addition, the group matches will be played at centralized venues instead of the previous home-and-away format. The nine participating teams were split into three groups of three teams and each group is played on a double round-robin basis, with matches being held in the official FIFA match windows in September and October 2024. The first-placed team of each group and the best second-placed team among all groups will not only be promoted to the 2026–27 CONCACAF Nations League B but also advance to the play-in round in which they will join 4 teams from the2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification

In an effort to reduce the travel disruptions faced by teams in previous editions, CONCACAF decided that the League C matches scheduled in each FIFA match window will be held at a centralized venue. In this way, the National Association of the second-highest ranked team in each group, once the draw has been made, will be responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled for the September FIFA match window. Likewise, the top-ranked team in each group, once the draw has been made, will be responsible for hosting all matches in its group scheduled in the October FIFA match window. If a National Association is unable to host matches, Concacaf reserves the right to select another venue. The match schedule (including days) was predetermined to provide proper rest time in between matches. The fixture list was confirmed by CONCACAF on 23 May 2024. All match times are in EDT ( UTC−4) as listed by CONCACAF (local times, if different, are in parentheses).Group A
By regulation, September's Group A matches had to be held in Bahamas as the second highest-ranked team in the group. However, the Bahamas was unable to host the matches and CONCACAF designated the U.S. Virgin Islands as the venue. ----Group B
