The AFCON qualifiers decide which African national teams reach the Africa Cup of Nations. This page keeps you updated with fixtures, standings, and quick previews so you can follow your team without hunting around.
Most cycles use groups where teams play home and away. Win earns three points, a draw one, and losses no points. When teams tie on points tiebreakers such as head-to-head, goal difference, and goals scored decide positions. Some cycles add playoffs or seed top teams, so formats change.
Look for established nations like Senegal, Morocco, Egypt and emerging sides that punch above their weight. Key players in European leagues often tip close matches. Also watch squad news, injuries, suspensions and travel problems, they matter more in qualifiers than in friendlies.
We list upcoming fixtures, kick-off times and venues so you know when and where each match happens. National federations sometimes adjust dates, so expect last-minute changes. If a match is postponed we link to official statements and rescheduled dates.
Local broadcasters and sports networks carry most games; streaming platforms cover others regionally. Use federation feeds, team social accounts and reliable sports apps for fast updates. We provide live scores, short match reports and standings here on this tag.
Planning to watch with friends? Check time zones and prepare a solid stream or TV link ahead of kick-off. If you attend a game buy tickets from official sellers and arrive early for security checks. For fantasy or betting picks focus on form, availability and travel instead of reputation alone.
We update group tables after each match and explain key changes in a few lines. Watch momentum: a team on a run often beats a higher-ranked side in qualifiers.
Examples that sway results include high altitude in Addis Ababa, heavy rains in West Africa and long overnight travel across North Africa. Clubs that release European-based players late for qualifiers can be weaker for opening games. A short injury to a key striker may cost a smaller nation more than a suite of absences for a top side. Study recent head-to-heads and qualifiers form over the last year for a clearer read on likely outcomes.
In many countries SuperSport, StarTimes and beIN Sports hold rights to African qualifiers while national channels show local games. Streaming can be regional, so use official federation links if a match does not appear on your platform.
Our coverage focuses on quick updates, concise match reports and simple tables that show who leads and who must win to qualify. We add context: injuries, suspensions and referee decisions that affect results.
