Schedule
Below is the schedule of the second round of CAF 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.[3] After the rescheduling of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations final tournament from June/July to January/February, the dates of Matchdays 1 and 2 of the second round were rescheduled.[4] Because the competition was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the schedule of the second round was revised again and on 19 August 2020 CAF announced the new dates, and the entire second round was postponed to 2021.[5] On 6 May 2021, the second round was once again postponed due to the pandemic, and all matches were rescheduled to be played between September and November 2021.[6]

Notes
- ^ The Angola v Gabon match, originally to be played at 17:00 UTC+1, was delayed by 90 minutes because the Gabonese players did not undergo COVID-19 tests when arriving Luanda.[8]
- ^ An appeal by the South African Football Association alleging that the match had been fixed was declared inadmissible by FIFA.[9][10][11]
- ^ Originally to be played on 6 September 2021 at the General Lansana Conté Stadium in Conakry, the Guinea v Morocco match was postponed and relocated due to security concerns following the 2021 Guinean coup d'état.
- ^ An appeal by the Benin Football Federation alleging that DR Congo had violated the substitution rules in the match was declared inadmissible by FIFA.[12][11]
