The 2020 CONCACAF U-17 Championship was originally to be the 7th edition of the CONCACAF U-17 Championship (20th edition if all eras included), the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONCACAF for the under-17 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. However, on 5 June 2020, CONCACAF announced that the qualifying competition, originally scheduled to be played in 2020, had been postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
The top four teams of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru as the CONCACAF representatives. However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.[2] Following this announcement, CONCACAF decided on 4 January 2021 that the 2020 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, which served as the regional qualifiers, would be cancelled.[3]
Mexico were the defending champions.
