The Super Eagles' big names showed up to give them a 3-0 lead over Tunisia in Fez but a pair of late goals threatened to delay Nigeria's qualification.
They held on to bank their second win and qualify for the round of 16 with a match to spare and the head-to-head versus Tunisia takes them through as group winners.
Before their first knock-out game, also in Fez, Nigeria will aim to extinguish Uganda's slim hopes of progress.
Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Uganda vs Nigeria online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Watch Uganda vs Nigeria from anywhere
Out of the country? That doesn't mean you have to miss the game. A VPN - or Virtual Private Network - means you can set your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world, bypassing streaming geo-restrictions.
Provided it complies with your broadcasters T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you use back home. It also comes with added internet security benefits, which sounds like a winner to us.
FourFourTwos colleagues at TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.

Fans in the United States can watch Uganda vs Nigeria on beIN Sports. Kick off is at 11:00am ET.
BeIN Sports comes with most good cable TV packages, but it doesn't have its own streaming service, so to tune in online, you'll need a cord-cutter such as YouTube TV, Fubo, or Sling.
How to watch Uganda vs Nigeria in Africa

Uganda vs Nigeria: Preview
With second-placed Tunisia already on three points, Saturday's draw between Uganda and Tanzania did neither any favours.
Even a win without a big margin would leave the Cranes in third if Tanzania beat Tunisia, and a draw elsewhere wouldn't be enough for second either; the chances of everything Uganda need happening all at once are tiny.
All hope is not lost. Third place could come in very handy if it's achieved in the form of a win, but defeating Nigeria is perhaps the toughest requirement of all.
If Uganda want a good omen, they need look no further than their last Africa Cup of Nations. In 2019, they made it out of the group stage with a draw and a win.

Nigeria came third in that tournament. In all, the Super Eagles have reached the AFCON semi-finals on 16 occasions, winning eight and succeeding in three of their finals.
Their most recent triumph came in 2013, when they defeated Burkina Faso 1-0 in South Africa to gain revenge after a stoppage-time Burkinabe equaliser in the group stage.
Eric Chelle's team have one of the handful of players to have scored twice in the first two group stage games at AFCON 2025.
Atalanta's Ademola Lookman scored against both Tanzania and Tunisia, a major contribution to Nigeria's comparatively serene progress to the round of 16.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Uganda 1-3 Nigeria
Uganda's best hope is that Nigeria take their eye off the ball. It happens, but we're expecting the Super Eagles to avoid that pitfall in Fez.
