The second round of CONCACAF matches for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification was played from 7 to 16 June 2015.[1] [2]
A total of 20 teams (teams ranked 9–21 in the CONCACAF entrant list and seven first round winners) played home-and-away over two legs. The ten winners advanced to the third round.
The draw for the second round was held on 15 January 2015, 19:40 EST (UTC−5), at the W Hotel at Miami Beach, Florida, United States.[3]
The seeding was based on the FIFA World Rankings of August 2014 (shown in parentheses).[4] The 20 teams were seeded into four pots:
Each tie contained a team from Pot 3 and a team from Pot 4 (first three ties), or a team from Pot 5 and a team from Pot 6 (last seven ties), with the order of legs decided by draw. As the draw was held before the first round was played, the identities of teams in Pot 6 (first round winners) were not known at the time of the draw.
Note: Bolded teams qualified for the third round.
