A total of 47 countries entered the competition, including South Africa, which automatically qualified.

The remaining 46 teams competed in the qualifiers. In each of the three rounds, teams were drawn into two-legged home-and-away knock-out ties.{{cite news|title=Caf reveals format for 2013 Nations Cup qualifiers |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/9031772.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 September 2010|date=24 September 2010}} Aggregate goals were used to determine the winner. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shootout instead of any extra time being played.

• Preliminary round: The lowest-ranked four teams started from the preliminary round.
• First round: The two winners of the preliminary round joined the other 26 teams which did not qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
• Second round: The 14 winners of the first round joined the 16 teams which qualified for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 15 winners of the second round qualified for the finals.

The draw for the preliminary round and the first round was made on 28 October 2011 in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.{{cite web|title=Orange CAN 2013 qualification procedures and draw results for the qualifiers released|url=http://www.cafonline.com/football/news/11841-orange-can-2013-qualification-procedures-and-draw-results-for-the-qualifiers-released.html|work=CAF Online|publisher=Confederation of African Football|access-date=29 October 2011|date=29 October 2011}} The draw for the second round was made on 5 July 2012 in Johannesburg, South Africa, after the first round was completed.{{cite web|title=Orange AFCON South Africa 2013 Preliminary Draw off to a good start in Johannesburg|url=http://www.cafonline.com/competition/orange-can-2013_2013/news/14673-orange-afcon-south-africa-2013-preliminary-draw-off-to-a-good-start-in-johannesburg.html|work=CAF Online|publisher=Confederation of African Football|access-date=5 July 2012|date=5 July 2012}}

• Togo were banned from the 2012 and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments by CAF after they withdrew from the 2010 tournament following a deadly attack on their team bus.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/8450529.stm|title=Togo officially disqualified from Africa Cup of Nations|date=11 January 2010|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 May 2010}} Togo appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with FIFA president Sepp Blatter stepping in to mediate.

Liberia won 1–0 on aggregate and advanced to the Second round.

The 30 teams which qualified for the second round were ranked based on their performances during the last three Africa Cup of Nations, i.e. the 2008, 2010, and 2012 editions.{{cite news |title=CAN 2013 qualification criteria |url=http://www.cafonline.com/userfiles/file/systemedequalificationfeng.pdf |work=CAF Online |publisher=Confederation of African Football |date=12 April 2012 }} For each of the last three African Cup of Nations final tournaments, the following system of points is adopted for the qualified countries:

Moreover, a weighted coefficient on points was given to each of the last three editions of the Africa Cup of Nations as follows:

• 2012 edition: points to be multiplied by 3
• 2010 edition: points to be multiplied by 2
• 2008 edition: points to be multiplied by 1

If two countries are equal in the number of points in the above classification the number of points that they have accumulated throughout all their matches played in the last 3 final tournaments of the CAN determined their ranking (on the basis of 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 for a match lost).

The teams were divided into two pots based on the ranking. Each tie contained one team from each pot. The order of legs for each tie was determined by draw.{{cite news |title=Draw of the last round of CAN 2013 qualifiers |url=http://www.cafonline.com/userfiles/file/Comp/CAN2013/5_July_CAN2013_draw_eng.pdf |work=CAF Online |publisher=Confederation of African Football |date=2 July 2012 }}
