The third round of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification was played from 26 March 2017 to 27 March 2018.

Format

A total of 24 teams (16 teams which advanced from the second round and eight teams which advanced from the play-off round) compete in the third round to compete for the final 12 slots in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.{{cite web |title=ExCo approves expanded AFC Asian Cup finals |url=http://www.the-afc.com/executive-committee/exco-approves-expanded-afc-asian-cup-finals |publisher=AFC |date=16 April 2014 |access-date=25 August 2014}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2015/m=4/news=world-cup-draw-looms-large-in-asia-2590022.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416192221/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2015/m=4/news=world-cup-draw-looms-large-in-asia-2590022.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 16, 2015|title=World Cup draw looms large in Asia|publisher=FIFA.com|date=13 April 2015|quote=Completing the [Asian Cup] tournament's qualifying contenders will be the next 16 highest ranked teams, with the remaining 12 sides battling it out in play-off matches to claim the last eight spots.}} Since the hosts United Arab Emirates advanced to the third round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, the automatic slot for the hosts is no longer necessary.

The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four teams to play home-and-away round-robin matches. The top two teams of each group qualified for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, where they were joined by the 12 teams which qualified directly from the second round.{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/afc/documents/PdfFiles/afc-asian-cup-uae-2019-competition-regulations|title=AFC Asian Cup 2019 Competition Regulations|publisher=AFC}}
