{{Main|2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualification}}
The qualifiers were played between 1 April and 24 July 2016. At the end of the qualification phase, seven teams joined the hosts Zambia.
===Player eligibility===
Players born 1 January 1997 or later are eligible to participate in the competition.
===Qualified teams===
The following eight teams qualified for the final tournament. Defending champions Nigeria failed to qualify. Congo and Ghana also failed to qualify, thus the winners of five of the last six tournaments failed to qualify for this tournament.
''Note: All appearance statistics count only those since the introduction of final tournament in 1991.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=lvv6St1Hb%2bhd31Z20TCWlQ%3d%3d|title=Total U-20 AFCON: History of the competition|publisher=CAF|date=23 February 2017}}</ref>

;Tiebreakers
The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:<ref name="regulations"/>
#Number of points obtained in games between the teams concerned;
#[[Goal difference]] in games between the teams concerned;
#Goals scored in games between the teams concerned;
#If, after applying criteria 1 to 3 to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 7 apply;
#Goal difference in all games;
#Goals scored in all games;
#Drawing of lots.
All times are local, CAT (UTC+2).
