The final round of the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup will officially be held from March 1 to March 21, 2026, in Australia. This is the most important women's football tournament on the continent this year and also serves as the qualifying stage for the 2027 Women's World Cup.

Format of the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup

The 12 qualified teams are evenly divided into 3 groups (A, B, C). Teams will play a single round-robin in the group stage to determine the top two teams from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams, who will advance to the quarter-finals.

The 4 national teams reaching the semi-finals (after the quarter-finals) will secure direct qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil.

Teams eliminated in the quarter-finals still have a chance to compete for the remaining spots through classification matches and intercontinental playoffs. This makes the race for top positions particularly intense from the group stage onwards, as every point is crucial in the journey to secure a World Cup ticket.
