Mexico play their qualification games through the Octagonal system, which consists of eight Concacaf teams ranked from one to five based on their FIFA rankings as of July 2020, plus the three winners of the second round qualifying stage.
The teams play against each other in a home-and-away round-robin format, with each side playing 14 matches. The top three teams in the table will qualify for the 2022 World Cup, while the team that finishes fourth will progress to an inter-confederation play-off fixture.

When does World Cup 2022 take place?
The 2022 World Cup will be held during the winter in Qatar, the first time that the competition will not be taking place during the summer months.
The 2022 edition will be held from November 21, 2022 until December 18, 2022.
The decision to hold the next World Cup during November and December instead of June and July, as is tradition, is due to the extremely hot summer temperatures in host nation Qatar.
It will mark the first time that the World Cup is held in the Middle East.
