Algeria’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures, group and TV details

Algeria will begin their campaign to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations aiming to reclaim the trophy they won in 2019.

The North African side are two-time winners of the competition, having also lifted the title in 1990. They were drawn by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) alongside Zambia, Togo and Burundi.

The draw placed Algeria in Group 9, although the group listing for the team also identifies their section as Group 2 alongside Zambia, Togo and Burundi.

Algeria opened their qualifying schedule against Zambia on Friday, 25 September 2026. The match was scheduled for 20:00 Algeria time (22:00 Saudi Arabia time), with Zambia winning 3-1 at Hocine Ait Ahmed Stadium.

Their remaining fixtures are listed as follows:

– Burundi v Algeria – Tuesday, 29 September 2026, 14:00 Algeria time (16:00 Saudi Arabia time), Intwari Stadium – Algeria v Togo – 9-17 November 2026, time to be confirmed – Togo v Algeria – 9-17 November 2026, time to be confirmed – Zambia v Algeria – 22-30 March 2026, time to be confirmed – Algeria v Burundi – 22-30 March 2026, time to be confirmed

The fixture list gives no result for the matches yet to be played and does not specify times for those games.

How to watch Algeria’s qualifying matches

The source information states that matches in the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will be broadcast by Qatar-based beIN Sports, as well as on the Algerian terrestrial television channel.

The matches can also be followed online through the TOD TV application and beIN Connect.

Algeria’s qualification campaign therefore includes home and away meetings with each of their three group opponents, with the opening fixture against Zambia already completed and the remaining games still listed without confirmed kick-off times.
