The fifth round (also known as the Hexagonal or Hex) of CONCACAF matches for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification will be played from 7 November 2016 to 10 October 2017.[1][2]

Format

A total of six teams which advanced from the fourth round (the three group winners and the three group runners-up) will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format in a single group. The top three teams in the group will qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and the fourth-placed team will advance to the inter-confederation play-offs.[1] This stage is referred to as the Hexagonal or Hex, and has been used by CONCACAF to determine its World Cup finals entrants since the qualification tournament for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

The draw for the fifth round (to decide the fixtures) will be held after the fourth round is completed.
