Malawi is participating in various Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification matches. In the Under-23 category, Malawi faced Eswatini at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe for a first-leg qualifier for the 2027 AFCON U-23 tournament, which serves as a pathway to the 2028 Summer Olympics.

In the senior qualification process, Malawi entered Group B with momentum following a 2-1 victory over South Sudan. Ahead of their match against Angola on October 6, 2026, head coach Kalisto Pasuwa bolstered his 24-member squad with the inclusion of Amos Sande, Robert Saizi, and Chawanangwa Gumbo.

In the fixture held at the Estádio 11 de Novembro in Luanda, Angola defeated Malawi 3-1. Angola took an early lead through Milson in the first three minutes, followed by a goal from Mabululu late in the first half. Malawi remained in contention after Kialonda Gaspar scored an own goal just before the interval, but Miro secured the victory for Angola with a third goal in the 71st minute.

Following the result, Angola sits on four points in Group B, level with Egypt but trailing on goal difference. Malawi remains on three points and is scheduled to face Egypt in upcoming fixtures.
