Tunisia v Libya: Kick-off time, TV channel and how to watch 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier

Tunisia host Libya on Friday, 13 November 2026, in the third round of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, with both sides seeking their first victory of the campaign.

The Group H fixture brings together two North African neighbours at the Stade Taieb Mhiri in Sfax. With neither team having made a winning start, the result could prove important in the race for qualification.

Match details

– Date: Friday, 13 November 2026 – Kick-off: 16 h 00 GMT – Venue: Stade Taieb Mhiri, Sfax, Tunisia – TV coverage: Canal+ Sport Afrique, beIN SPORTS, Arryadia and Al Aoula

Tunisia began their qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw against Uganda before being held to a 2-2 draw by Botswana. Those results have made for a difficult opening to the competition for a team expected to challenge strongly in the group.

The Carthage Eagles have struggled to turn their opportunities into goals and will need to improve their finishing against Libya. Another dropped opportunity would leave Tunisia under increasing pressure to stay on course for a place at the tournament.

Libya have also endured a disappointing start. The Mediterranean Knights drew 2-2 with Botswana and then lost 1-0 to Uganda. They have only one point from their opening two matches but will hope to take advantage of Tunisia’s slow start and produce a surprise result away from home.

Tunisia hold strong historical advantage

The previous meetings between the two countries heavily favour Tunisia. Across approximately 13 official matches, the Carthage Eagles have recorded 10 victories, while Libya have won either one or two of those fixtures. The remaining one or two matches ended in draws.

That record gives Tunisia the historical edge before the latest meeting, although their results in the opening rounds mean Libya are unlikely to be short of confidence.

Tunisia remain the expected winners because of their greater experience and their clear advantage in past encounters. However, Libya are capable of making the match competitive, particularly if Tunisia again fail to convert their chances.

Africafoot’s prediction is a 2-1 victory for Tunisia.

The betting company 1xbet lists Tunisia as the clear favourites, with a win priced at 1,36. The odds for a draw are 4,21, while a Libya victory is priced at 10,10.
