China host Tajikistan on 6 October 2026 at 14:35 in a friendly. China lost their last two matches heavily, falling 0–3 to New Zealand and 0–5 to Palestine in September, though they opened that break with a 3–0 win over the Maldives. Tajikistan qualified for the Asian Cup but finished their September camp winless in three matches: a 0–0 draw with China in January 2024, then losses to Azerbaijan (0–1) and Palestine (2–4). Neither team made the 2026 World Cup. China have failed to score in three of their last four outings. Tajikistan have conceded in five straight matches.
Form and H2H
