The 2016 AFF Championship qualification tournament was the qualification process for the 2016 AFF Championship, the eleventh edition of the AFF Championship. It was held in Cambodia and involved either teams that finished last in the group stage of 2014 AFF Championship or lower ranked teams in Southeast Asia. The format was a single round-robin tournament with the top team qualifying for the tournament proper.[1] [2]

The matches were originally scheduled to be held between 13 and 22 October,[3] before being announced as shifting forward slightly to the 15 and 21 October 2016 on the day Yanmar and Suzuki confirmed their sponsorship.[4]
