This is a club competition
The CAF Women’s Champions League brings together women’s clubs from Africa. It is different from a national-team tournament, even when the same country names appear beside the club names. A country in the draw identifies the club’s association; it does not mean a national side has replaced the club in the fixture.
The 2026 edition is in Egypt
CAF’s current event guide identifies Ismailia, Egypt, as the setting for the sixth edition, scheduled from 1 to 15 November 2026. Those details belong to this edition. A November guide should not reuse the host or dates from a previous tournament merely because the competition logo is unchanged.
Eight clubs begin in two groups
The official draw explanation divides eight qualified clubs into two groups of four. The top two in each group advance to the semifinals. Read the group letter beside a position when following the opening phase; the table is not a single eight-club league in which every team plays all seven opponents.
Qualification has a regional context
CAF explains that the field comes through regional zones alongside the defending champion and host representation. A regional qualifying result therefore belongs to the route into this final tournament. Do not treat a qualifying fixture from earlier in the year as a group match in Egypt simply because both carry the Women’s Champions League name.
Use the current match schedule
The event guide, draw and match programme provide the sporting identity. Check any subsequent official updates for the actual club lineup and appointment, then the rights holder for available coverage in your territory. A familiar club mark or a previous edition’s recording does not establish live access to the current tournament through UK IPTV.
