The seeding was based on the FIFA World Rankings of July 2015 (shown in parentheses).{{cite web|title=FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking – July 2015 (CAF) |url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/rank=252/caf.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713135612/http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/rank=252/caf.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 July 2015 |work=FIFA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |date=9 July 2015 |access-date=9 July 2015}} The 27 direct qualifiers are seeded into three pots:

  • Pot 1 contained the teams ranked 1–13.
  • Pot 2 contained the teams ranked 14–20.
  • Pot 3 contained the teams ranked 21–27.

Each tie contained a team from Pot 1 and a first round winner (first 13 ties) which were automatically allocated into each tie (winner of first round tie 1 into second round tie 1, etc.), or a team from Pot 2 and a team from Pot 3 (last seven ties), with the team from Pot 1 or Pot 2 hosting the second leg. As the draw was held before the first round was played, the identities of the first round winners were not known at the time of the draw.

Note: Bolded teams qualified for the third round.
