The United States defeated Canada 2–0 in the final to secure a second consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title.

The Nations League Finals took place in June 2023 and was contested by the four group winners of League A. The tournament took place over four days and was played in single-leg knockout matches, consisting of two semi-finals on June 15, and a third place play-off and final three days after the second semi-final on June 18, 2023.

In the Nations League Finals, if the scores were level at the end of normal time:

• In the semi-finals and final, 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If the score was still level after extra time, the winner was determined by a penalty shoot-out.
• In the third place play-off, extra time would not be played, and the winner would be determined by a penalty shoot-out.

The four group winners of League A qualified for the Nations League Finals.

United States vs Mexico

The match was temporarily stopped by the referee in the 90th minute due to homophobic chants from the Mexico fans. The referee initially allotted 12 minutes of stoppage time at the end of regulation, but he halted the match in the eighth minute of stoppage time amid more chants (though CONCACAF claimed the match was halted at the referee's discretion).
