The 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), officially known as the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship 2024, marks the 8th edition of this prestigious biennial football tournament.

The co-hosting rights for the 2024 CHAN were awarded to Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda on 17 December 2023. The decision serves as a dress rehearsal for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which will also be hosted in East Africa.
