Now that Qatar have been given the next Asian Cup, and the tourney is likely to be moved from mid next year to early 2024 - yes now highly unlikely the AWs will get a Gold Cup invite in 2023.

Qatar are invited to compete in next year's Gold Cup, and initially that was going to clash with the Asian Cup - possibly leaving door slightly open for the AWs, Socceroos or whoever to replace Qatar at the Gold Cup. But that ain't gonna happen now.

But AWs have played alot in the past Stateside. And that could happen again in the lead up to WC 2026. 

I'm guessing all 3 of Mexico, USA & Canada as hosts won't be participating in the normal CONCACAF Hexagonal WC qualifying program. So all 3 will be looking for friendlies to play, much like Qatar has been playing UEFA teams on a bye, last few years. 

But for the three 2026 hosts, UEFA/CONEMBOL teams won't always be free to play. Making the AWs a prospect.
