Only three of the qualified teams — Morocco, Libya and DR Congo — have previously won the tournament. The group stage will see the 18 teams divided into five groups. Three of the groups will feature four teams (top two advance to knockouts), and the other two groups will have only three teams each (only group winner advance to knockouts). The eight-team knockout stage will be contested in single-elimination format to produce a winner, with a third-place match also taking place. If Morocco officially withdraw — their first match in Group C is not until Sunday, January 15 — then organizers will need to make a late change to the tournament format.

The tournament, which has been expanded to feature 18 national teams made up exclusively of domestic-based players, is held every two years, alternating with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Despite the squad restriction, CHAN matches count as full internationals for player caps as well as in the calculation of the FIFA World Rankings. The participation of Morocco, the two-time CHAN defending champions, is still up in the air given the team's plane has not been authorised to travel to Algeria. The tense relations and disputes between the two nations — Algeria cut diplomatic ties in 2021 — led to Algeria closing its airspace to Moroccan aircraft and air travel originating in the country. If Morocco withdraw from the tournament and the team does not pursue other travel options that would circumvent the travel ban, then the African confederation will be left to shuffle the competitive format at the last moment.
