x - Qualified for 2018 FIFA World Cup
y - Qualified for intercontinental playoff vs. Asian runners-up (Australia)
The USA were one of six nations to advance to the final round of 2018 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, also known as "The Hexagonal."
The goal of the Americans in the Hexagonal was to finish among the top three to clinch an automatic berth to Russia 2018. The fourth-place finisher, Honduras, advance to a playoff against Asia's fifth-place finisher, Australia. The bottom two teams, the United States and Trinidad & Tobago, have been eliminated.
The USA faced a total of 10 matches in the Hexagonal, which opened Round 1 on November 11 against archrivals Mexico on US soil.
The qualifying process in the CONCACAF region began back in January 2015 and it has seen 29 nations eliminated along the way, leaving the final six survivors in "The Hex."
