The U.S. Men's National Team have begun their process of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and after their failure to qualify for the 2018 finals in Russia, they know that they've got a massive task to undertake.
This qualification process is shaping up to be a road to redemption for Gregg Berhalter's squad, and their appearance in the 2022 tournament is a must.
Here, Goal has everything you need to know about the USMNT's World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign, including group standings, fixtures, results and more.
The USMNT will 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 the inter-confederation play-off fixture.
