The tournament also includes invited teams from the CONCACAF region, which comprises North, Central America and the Caribbean, that qualified via the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[1]

The group is made up of Mexico from CONCACAF, Ecuador and Venezuela, both from CONMEBOL, and Jamaica from CONCACAF.[2] The draw for the groups was conduced on December 7, 2023, with Mexico being previously seeded into the group as head.[3] Group B's matches will take place from June 22–30 at six venues in six U.S. cities.[4]

The top two teams, following a round-robin of three matches per team, will advance to the quarter-finals.
