Africa Cup of Nations 2027 Tickets

Where the tournament is being held

The Africa Cup of Nations 2027 is a joint hosting effort by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, spreading matches across East Africa for the first time in the tournament's history. It is one of the most keenly followed competitions on the continent, and this three-nation staging gives fans in the region a rare chance to watch the biggest names in African football on home soil.

Format and how the tournament unfolds

As with recent editions, 24 teams take part, split into groups before the knockout stages decide the champion. Fans can follow the tournament stage by stage:

• the Group Stage, where all 24 teams begin their campaign
• the Round of 16, the first knockout round
• the Quarter-Finals, where the last eight compete
• the Semi-Finals, deciding the two finalists

Each stage page covers its own fixtures, which is useful for planning around a specific round rather than the tournament as a whole.

Nations to follow

AFCON traditionally brings together the continent's strongest footballing nations, and the 2027 edition is no exception. Among the 24 competing teams are regular contenders such as Algeria, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Tunisia, alongside sides including DR Congo, Angola, Cameroon, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa. With the tournament hosted in East Africa, home nations Tanzania and Uganda will also be looking to make the most of local support in front of their own fans.

Deciding which matches to attend

Knockout matches carry more uncertainty until the bracket is confirmed, since the two teams involved are not known until the previous round finishes, so fans planning around a specific stage rather than a specific fixture may find it easier to commit early. Anyone hoping to follow one nation's full run through the tournament can track that team's page for updates as the group stage and knockout rounds are confirmed.
