AFCON 2027 qualifying: groups and fixtures

Qualifying decides the 21 places beside the three co-hosts. These are the matches CAF has published; the finals schedule follows the draw.

Qualifying windows

  • Matchdays 1–224 Sept – 6 Oct 2026
  • Matchdays 3–49 Nov – 17 Nov 2026
  • Matchdays 5–622 Mar – 30 Mar 2027

What it means for a trip: 21 of the 24 places are settled only in the last window, so book the parts that do not depend on your team — flights into the region and rooms in the host cities — and let us attach the matches once the draw is made.

Official fixtures have not yet been confirmed

CAF has not published the AFCON 2027 draw, match schedule or venues. We show fixtures here the moment they are official — and we will not guess in the meantime.

Why this page may be empty: the AFCON 2027 draw, group stage and venue allocation are made and published by CAF. We do not estimate, predict or place fixtures here — supporters book non-refundable flights around this information.

Travel Ease is an independent travel company and is not CAF’s official ticketing platform. Match tickets are purchased through CAF’s official ticketing channel. Travel Ease provides assistance with the ticket-purchase process and can organise the flights, accommodation, transfers and experiences around it.
