Where to Watch the CAF Champions League in United States

On beIN Sports. It holds CAF's club competitions throughout the Arab world under a long-term agreement, and its TOD app streams the same games on phones, laptops and smart TVs. That includes this season's Egyptian entries, Zamalek and Pyramids, along with Morocco's two representatives.

Not confirmed yet. SuperSport broadcast the previous two seasons in English across sub-Saharan Africa, on DStv and on DStv Stream, and our table still lists it for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and their neighbors. If CAF announces a different partner for the region, the listings here will change with it.

No. None of the 2026/27 deals we track includes a free-to-air channel. Every listed option, from beIN Sports and Canal+ Afrique to DStv Stream and DAZN, needs a subscription. Free pirate streams of African club games do circulate, but they tend to be packed with pop-ups and are often taken down mid-match.

beIN SPORTS carries the competition in the United States, and without cable you can stream the channel through Fubo. Kick-off times depend on the home club's city: in the winter months New York runs six hours behind Lagos and seven behind Cairo, so a 7pm start in either city reaches New York screens at about noon or 1pm.

DAZN. It is reported to have taken the rights over from Sportdigital for 2026/27, so German-speaking fans now stream the matches inside the DAZN app rather than on a separate channel. The deal is reported rather than formally announced, so treat the listing with a little caution until the group stage begins.

In Africa, Canal+ Afrique carries the matches with French commentary across countries such as Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and DR Congo. In France itself, beIN Sports is the home of the competition. Supporters in Algeria and Tunisia, where Arabic and French are both widely spoken, watch on beIN Sports or its TOD app.

Qualifying runs from September 4 to October 25, 2026. The group stage begins on November 27, and the competition ends on May 31, 2027. Mamelodi Sundowns start as holders after beating AS FAR of Morocco 2-1 on aggregate in the 2026 final, their second continental title.

The Champions League is CAF's top club tournament, mainly for national league winners and the runners-up of the strongest leagues. The Confederation Cup is the second tier, built around domestic cup winners and other high finishers. Both follow a similar calendar, and the two winners meet afterwards in the CAF Super Cup.

Yes, with a VPN. If you subscribe to TOD in Egypt or DStv Stream in Nigeria and travel for work, the app may stop playing once you cross into a region where it has no rights. Switching the VPN to your home country brings back your normal lineup, on the same phone or laptop.
