Africa Cup of Nations 2025 fixtures and results so far

The Africa Cup of Nations is sandwiched into the Christmas football schedule for the first time due to a hectic football calendar.

This edition of the continental tournament was due to be staged in the summer, but the expanded Club World Cup nudged it back to this unusual slot.

Still, better late than never. The best of Africa will face off across the next month with Premier League superstars among those vying for the golden trophy.

Ivory Coast triumphed in the last tournament after defeating Nigeria in a dramatic finale.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full list of Africa Cup of Nations 2025 fixtures and results as they are confirmed.
