The Total 2018 African Nations Championship qualification is a men's football competition which decided the participating teams of the 2018 African Nations Championship. Only national team players who are playing in their country's own domestic league are eligible to compete in the tournament.
A total of 16 teams will qualify to play in the final tournament, including Kenya who qualified automatically as hosts.
A total of 48 CAF member national teams entered the qualifying rounds, split into zones according to their regional affiliations.
The draw was held on 3 February 2017 at Libreville, Gabon.
The schedule of the qualifying rounds is as follows.
Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).
Winners qualify for 2018 African Nations Championship.
