Based on the FIFA World Rankings (as of 4 April 2019),[3] the sixteen teams were distributed into four pots, with teams in Pot 1 assigned to each group prior to the draw, as follows:[4]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4

The matchups of the Caribbean play-in round, played between the four Caribbean preliminary round group winners, were determined as follows:

  • Winner Group A v Winner Group D
  • Winner Group B v Winner Group C

Each tie was played as a single match, with the higher-ranked team according to the seeding used for the preliminary round draw hosting the match.

No draw was made for the Central American matchups, which were based on the FIFA World Rankings (as of 4 April 2019),[3] as follows:

1.  Costa Rica (38) v 6.  Guatemala (143)
2.  Honduras (61) 5.  Nicaragua (129)
