The dates for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations have been revealed.

The competition will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and will run from 19 June to 18 July 2027.

This edition will see the tournament reverting to the mid-year schedule, aligning with the international football calendar and avoiding clashes with major European leagues.

Twenty-four teams will take part in the tournament, with the qualifying campaign set to start during the September international break.

The draw for the qualifiers will happen ahead of the qualifiers.
