Each row states the edition a broadcaster is publicly confirmed for. Where that is an earlier edition, we say so rather than carrying it over to 2027.

What time matches start here
Matches are played in East Africa, which runs on UTC+3 all year. Kenya is the same time as the venues, so a fixture kicking off in the evening at the venues lands correspondingly earlier or later here.
Exact kick-off times have not been published by CAF, so no clock times are shown anywhere on this site.
Common questions
- Will AFCON 2027 be shown in Kenya?
- Yes: KBC Channel 1 is confirmed for the 2027 edition. The other channels listed on this page hold rights to the qualifiers or to the 2025 tournament in Morocco, and neither guarantees they will carry 2027.
- Is there a free way to watch in Kenya?
- Yes: KBC Channel 1. Check which edition, though: a free channel confirmed for the qualifiers will not necessarily carry the finals. The rights column in the table above states which edition each channel is confirmed for.
- Why do the lists I find elsewhere look different?
- Because almost all of them describe AFCON 2025, played in Morocco, without saying so. Rights are sold edition by edition and country by country: a 2025 broadcaster holds no claim on 2027. We label each channel with the edition it is confirmed for rather than copying an older list forward.
