AFCON Qualifying on TV 2027 - every fixture, your time zone

Africa Cup of Nations qualifying runs through the international breaks, with nations playing home and away in groups for a place at the finals. Kickoffs are spread across the day because matches are played in local time from Cairo to Cape Town.

This page lists every 2027 AFCON Qualifying fixture with kickoff times converted to your local time and the live TV channel in 30+ countries. AFCON qualifiers are rarely shown on UK television. Coverage is strongest across Africa and France, and the confirmed channel for each match is listed here per country as it is announced. Pick the countries you care about in the selector above to compare broadcasters side by side - whether you're at home, following from abroad, or just working out when a match starts on your clock.

The UK Saturday 3pm blackout, explained

During the Saturday afternoon closed period - roughly 2:45pm to 5:15pm UK time - no live football may be broadcast on UK television. The rule dates back to UEFA's Article 48 and is intended to protect attendances across the football pyramid. It applies to overseas leagues shown in the UK as well, which is why this guide lists the channel for each match in every country, not just the UK.

What channel is AFCON Qualifying on in the UK?

AFCON qualifiers are rarely shown on UK television. Coverage is strongest across Africa and France, and the confirmed channel for each match is listed here per country as it is announced. This guide lists the confirmed channel for each fixture as it's announced, alongside coverage in 30+ other countries.

Why isn't a 3pm Saturday game on TV in the UK?

No live football may be broadcast in the UK during the Saturday afternoon closed period (roughly 2:45-5:15pm UK time) - a rule rooted in UEFA's Article 48, meant to protect match attendances. It applies to overseas leagues shown in the UK too, so a AFCON Qualifying match in that window won't be live on UK TV, though it is broadcast in other countries.
