The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Sub-regional Qualifier B was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[1] It was hosted by Kenya in October 2024.[2]

Zimbabwe won the qualifier with a 100 per cent record and advanced to the regional final.[3][4] Kenya also advanced after finishing in second place.[5] They will be joined in the regional final by Namibia and Uganda, who were given a bye after having participated in the previous T20 World Cup, and four other teams from sub-regional qualifiers A and C.[6][7]
