The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, also referred to as AFCON 2027 or CAN 2027, is scheduled to be the 36th edition of the biennial African football tournament organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). It will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in June and July 2027. For the first time, the tournament will take place in three countries.
This edition of the tournament will be the first ever to be hosted by three different countries, and also the first in 5 decades to be organized in the CECAFA region, since it was hosted by Ethiopia in 1976. This came after CAF president Patrice Motsepe announced that the competition will be zonal oriented so it can be hosted by all the geographic zones of Africa.
