The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification was a women's football competition to determine the teams joining the automatically qualified host Morocco in the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations final tournament.
Though CAF planned for a final tournament of 12 teams, reports surfaced in early October 2025 that the final tournament would be expanded to 16 teams. CAF apparently refuted those reports on 25 October by clarifying that 11 teams would qualify, but announced on 3 November that the four teams defeated in the second round that were ranked highest in the FIFA Women's World Ranking of 7 August 2025 would also play in the final tournament.
