The 2026 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup qualification was the qualification process organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to determine the participating teams for the 2026 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup, the 10th edition of the international women's under-17 football championship of Asia. Therefore, players born on or after 1 January 2009 were eligible to participate.
A total of 12 teams qualified to play in the final tournament in China. The host country China and the top three teams of the previous tournament (North Korea, Japan, and South Korea) qualified automatically, while the other eight teams were decided by qualification, with the matches played between 13 and 17 October 2025 in centralised venues.
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 qualified for the final tournament.
The draw was held on 7 August 2025 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 14:00 local time ().
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.
