The 2026 AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualification will be an international men's under-17 football competition which will be held to decide the participating teams of the 2026 AFC U-17 Asian Cup. [1]
Of the 47 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member associations, a total of 38 teams entered the competition. The other nine teams including the hosts Saudi Arabia who qualified for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup automatically qualify for the final tournament. [2]
The draw was held on 7 August 2025 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 16:00 local time (UTC+8).
The 38 teams were allocated to three groups of six teams and four groups of five teams, with teams seeded based on a points system derived from their final rankings across the previous three editions of the Finals (overall ranking shown in parentheses). A further restriction was also applied, with the seven teams serving as qualification group hosts drawn into separate groups. [3]
