CAF Confederation Cup fixtures 2026-27

African clubs contest CAF Confederation Cup fixtures in qualifying rounds, a group stage and knockout ties culminating in the final. The schedule runs from qualifying to the final each season, with kick off times shown together in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT for football and soccer readers in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda.

The Caf Confederation Cup began in 2004, with an all Ghanaian final between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko. Following the schedule means tracing that same continental journey, from an opening qualifying tie to the chance of lifting a trophy.

How Do You Find Today's Confederation Cup Fixtures?

Use the fixture filters to select a date and round, then switch between upcoming games and completed matches. Qualifying, group fixtures and knockout ties have separate headings, so a preliminary result cannot be mistaken for a group result. Read the status beside each fixture before interpreting its score: a live score remains provisional until full time. The matchday preview explains the qualification stakes, while the group labels identify each club.

How Does The Schedule Lead From Qualifying To The Final?

Qualifying rounds lead into a group stage of 16 clubs, divided into four groups of four. Clubs meet their group opponents home and away before the qualifiers enter the knockout rounds. Read the active round and confirmed dates in the schedule, with the draw panel showing group membership. The bracket connects the quarter finals to the semi finals and final, making each club's route easier to follow. Check the listed legs and confirmed format before planning around a tie's deciding match.

Where Can You Watch Matches In Your Country?

Check the country viewing entry attached to each fixture for confirmed television or streaming coverage. Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda have separate entries because availability can differ between markets and matches. A channel carrying one tie does not establish coverage for every round. For mobile viewing, follow the listed service's match entry and check whether the programme includes the live game or highlights before arranging your evening around it.

What Do The Group Table And Results Tell You?

A win earns 3 points, and the top two clubs from each group reach the quarter finals. The Caf Confederation Cup table shows how results affect qualification; South African readers can read the same standings as the group log. Check matches played alongside points when comparing clubs. The Caf Confederation Cup results separate completed scores from upcoming fixtures, while aggregate scores explain the position across a knockout tie rather than its return match alone.

How Do You Check Local Times And Rearranged Games?

Read the kick off against your country's time zone and check the fixture again after any scheduling update. Ghana uses GMT, Nigeria WAT, South Africa SAST, and Kenya and Uganda EAT. These labels matter when a late evening match in North Africa reaches East African viewers closer to midnight. If a game is postponed, follow its status until a replacement date is confirmed. When saving a fixture to your phone calendar, retain the time zone and check subsequent changes.

Which African Connections Make The Fixtures Matter?

The competition links domestic cup football with continental honours, giving each fixture a story beyond its score. Hearts of Oak beat Asante Kotoko on penalties in the inaugural final in 2004, a lasting Ghanaian connection. For the individual contribution behind a club's progress, consult the Caf Confederation Cup stats, then open its fixture details to check the match information before kick off.
