The Confederation of African Football completed the final draw for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The tournament was organised into four groups for a competition window running from 26 July to 16 August.

The draw also clarified the qualification stakes beyond the continental title. The top two teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals, the four semifinalists qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, and the losing quarterfinalists enter an additional playoff route.
