CAF Champions League, Confederation Cup draws scheduled for 28 October

The group stage draws for the 2026/27 CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup are expected to take place in Cairo, Egypt, on 28 October 2026.

The draws will determine the group-stage opponents for the teams that progress through the preliminary rounds of Africa’s two premier club competitions, setting the stage for the next phase of the continental campaign.

Clubs across the continent will be eager to discover their opponents as they pursue continental glory, with the Champions League offering Africa’s most prestigious club title and the Confederation Cup providing another major opportunity for teams to make their mark.

The group-stage pairings are expected to shape the early outlook of both competitions, with clubs assessing their chances of progressing to the knockout rounds once their opponents are confirmed.

The CAF Champions League remains the continent’s leading club competition, bringing together some of Africa’s strongest sides in the race to be crowned champions of Africa. The Confederation Cup, meanwhile, provides a platform for clubs to compete for continental honours and establish themselves on the African stage.

The Cairo draws will be an important milestone in the 2026/27 season, with participating teams set to begin planning for the challenges ahead once the group fixtures and opponents are known.

Further details, including the confirmed draw arrangements and the composition of the groups, are expected from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
