The 2017 CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship will be a beach soccer tournament which took place in Nassau on 20–26 February 2017.^[1] This will be the second time the CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship will be held in the Bahamas. All matches will be played at the Malcom Beach Soccer Facility.

The tournament will serve as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualifier for teams from North, Central America and Caribbean which are members of CONCACAF, where the top two teams will qualify for the 2017 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup also in the Bahamas.

Participating teams and draw

The following 16 teams entered the tournament.^[1]

North American Zone

Central American Zone

Caribbean Zone

Antigua and Barbuda
Bahamas (hosts)
Guadeloupe
Guyana
Jamaica
Trinidad and Tobago
Turks and Caicos Islands
U.S. Virgin Islands

Notes

Bahamas has already qualified for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup as hosts.
Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member and thus ineligible to qualify for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
Should Bahamas and/or Guadeloupe advance to the final, the next eligible highest-placed team will qualify for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
On 28 October 2016, FIFA suspended the National Football Federation of Guatemala for political interference by the Government of Guatemala. Until the suspension is lifted, Guatemalan teams are not permitted to participate in international competitions.^[2] CONCACAF has set the deadline of 16 December 2016 for the suspension to be lifted, otherwise by rule, Guatemala would be disqualified from the 2017 CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship, and any replacement team or revision to the tournament format would be discussed once the deadline is passed.^[3]

The draw of the tournament was held on 17 October 2016, 10:00 UTC−4, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Doral, Florida.^[4] The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four teams, with the following seeding based on the BSWW Beach Soccer rankings:^[5]

Pot 1	Pot 2	Pot 3	Pot 4
Bahamas (hosts; assigned to A1) Mexico (title holders; assigned to B1) El Salvador United States	Costa Rica Guatemala Trinidad and Tobago Jamaica	Canada Panama Antigua and Barbuda Belize	Guadeloupe Turks and Caicos Islands U.S. Virgin Islands Guyana

Notes

The draw started by selecting from a separate pot, which contained the five teams (Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Guadeloupe, Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands) with the same exact ranking (38). These teams were drawn and placed into Pots 3 and 4 respectively to complete the distribution of the teams into those Pots.

Group stage

Each team earns three points for a win in regulation time, two points for a win in extra time, one point for a win in a penalty shoot-out, and no points for a defeat. The top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals, while the bottom two teams from each group enter the placement stage for 9th to 16th place.

All times are local, EST (UTC−5).
