FormatLeague B consisted of sixteen teams. The league was split into four groups of four teams. The teams competed in a home-and-away, round-robin format over the course of the group phase, with matches being played in the official FIFA match windows in June 2022 and March 2023. The first-placed team in each group was promoted to League A and qualified for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, with the second-placed teams entering the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification tournament. As a result of a format change, no teams were relegated this season.[3] Team changesThe following were the team changes of League B from the 2019–20 season:
