CAF announced the change on Tuesday, November 10, saying the ceremony would begin at 7pm Nigerian time, 8pm in Cairo and 6pm GMT.
The event will take place at the Professor Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Arts, popularly known as the National Theatre, in Lagos.
The ceremony was initially scheduled for December 7.
Lagos to host CAF Awards after 12 years
The 2026 edition will be the first time Lagos has hosted the CAF Awards since 2014.
CAF described Lagos as a suitable location for the ceremony because of its strong football culture, rich heritage, music and entertainment.
The event is expected to attract top African footballers, coaches, club officials, national team representatives and other important figures in the game.
Nigeria is also preparing to host the 48th CAF Ordinary General Assembly on November 21, 2026, at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja.
These events will make Nigeria an important centre for CAF activities towards the end of the year.
