The 2026 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup qualification will be an international women's under-17 football competition which will be held to decide the participating teams of the 2026 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup.[1]

Draw

Of the 47 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member associations, a total of 27 teams entered the competition. The four teams including the hosts China who qualified for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup automatically qualify for the final tournament.

The draw was held on 7 August 2025 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 14:00 local time (UTC+8).

The 27 teams were allocated to three groups of four teams and five groups of three teams, with teams seeded based on a points system derived from their final rankings across the previous three editions (overall ranking shown in parentheses). A further restriction was also applied, with the eight teams serving as qualification group hosts drawn into separate groups.[2]

Notes

  1. ^ If Saudi Arabia is drawn into one of the groups from A to C, they have to be allocated to position 4 in their respective group. Otherwise, they will be allocated to position 3 of one of the groups from D to H.
  2. ^ After Saudi Arabia was drawn into Group B, and other teams from Pot 4 were drawn into Groups A and C, Kuwait is the only remaining team in Pot 4, so they have to be moved to Pot 3.
