AFCON 2027 on 1xBet: dates, hosts and the bonus
The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations is co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from 19 June to 17 July 2027 — the first time East Africa hosts it together. New 1xBet customers in the three host countries can use promx111 for 130% up to €130; remember that Uganda’s minimum betting age is 25. National-team tournaments have fewer matches per day, so plan the 30-day turnover carefully.

Planning the turnover
A tournament day has two or three matches at most. If you register at the start of the group stage, the 30-day window covers most of the tournament — but each accumulator needs 3 selections, so you may combine AFCON legs with other football. Group-stage final rounds play matches simultaneously, which helps build accumulators that settle together.
Settlement reminders
- Group and knockout match-result bets settle on 90 minutes.
- “To qualify” bets include extra time and penalties.
- Postponed matches are usually voided after a set period.
Home tournament, extra caution
Home tournaments bring heavy promotion, watch parties and pressure to bet on your own team. Emotional bets are rarely good bets. Decide a tournament budget before the opening match and keep to it. Local help is listed on each country page and on our responsible gambling page.
For readers outside East Africa
Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and other served countries can use the same code under their own local rules — see their country guides. In countries where 1xBet is not legal, watching AFCON is fine; betting on it through 1xBet is not.
Common questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do AFCON bets settle on 90 minutes? | Match-result bets do; “to qualify” bets include extra time and penalties |
| Can I bet from Uganda at 18? | No — the legal minimum age in Uganda is 25 |
| Will there be AFCON promotions? | 1xBet often runs event offers for existing customers; check the promotions page |
| Is Kenya still licensed? | Licences for 2025/26 run until expiry under the new Gambling Control Act; check the regulator’s current list |
Tournament football rewards preparation more than impulse. If you bet, pick matches you have followed, keep accumulators small and stop when your tournament budget is spent.
We will update this page as fixtures, venues and any 1xBet event promotions are confirmed, and log each change in the page history below.
For readers outside the host countries, kick-off times will fall in the East Africa Time zone (UTC+3): mid-afternoon to evening in West Africa and similar times across Southern Africa. Plan your viewing — and any betting — around that, not around late-night impulses.
