The Hexagonal is the fourth and final round of World Cup Qualification for FIFA’s North and Central America region (also known as CONCACAF). Six teams—the United States, Costa Rica, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, and Panama—will play home and away matches against each other in 2013, with the top three teams securing passage to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The fourth place Hex team will advance to a playoff with the winner of the Oceania region for a chance to advance to Brazil. Hex matches begin February 6 and conclude on October 15. The Oceania playoff will take place in November.
