The fifth round of CONCACAF's World Cup qualifying campaign begins on Friday. Each team will play every other team once (home and away) for a total of ten matches each. The top three teams will automatically qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The fourth-place team will advance to a two-game playoff against the Asian Football Confederation's fifth place team.
