Hosting means Uganda are through already. Their group games settle who joins them, not whether they go.
Group H and how it looks
No side here is ranked inside the world top 70, and only 32 places separate Tunisia from Uganda. This one is open.

Common questions
- Who does Uganda play in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers?
- Group H, against Tunisia (#57), Libya (#110), Botswana (#147). Six matches in total, three at home and three away, spread across three international windows: September 21 – October 6, 2026, November 9 – November 17, 2026 and March 22 – March 30, 2027. CAF has published the pairings and the windows, but neither the individual dates nor the kick-off times.
- Has Uganda already qualified for AFCON 2027?
- Yes, as a co-host: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania are through automatically. The six group matches are still played, but nothing rides on them for Uganda. What remains open is the fate of the other three sides in Group H: since the expansion to 28 teams, CAF has not said how many of them advance.
- Why does the ranking shown here not match the draw pots?
- The draw on May 19, 2026 used the FIFA ranking as it stood in April 2026. The figures on this page come from the list published on July 20, 2026, and teams have moved between those two dates. Uganda currently sits at #89. The next FIFA update is due on October 7, 2026, during the first qualifying window.
- Where can I watch Uganda?
- No broadcaster is confirmed for 2027 in this country yet. Rights to the 2027 edition are almost entirely unsold: the lists published elsewhere describe the 2025 tournament in Morocco. Our country pages state which edition each broadcaster is confirmed for.
