CAF Champions League fixtures and Kenyan clubs
The CAF Champions League is Africa’s top club competition, run by the Confederation of African Football. The KPL table marks first place with the CAF Champions League qualification colour, so the Kenyan champions start in the early knockout rounds the next season.
Those rounds are two-legged: a home game and an away game, with the aggregate score deciding who goes through. On the list each leg is its own row, so check which leg a match is before you bet on it.
Kick-off times follow the home club’s city. North African clubs are one or two hours behind Kenya and West African clubs two or three hours behind, so the same evening slot can read anywhere from 18:00 to 22:00 EAT.

Group stages and knockout ties run from late in the year into spring. The CAF Confederation Cup fixtures list covers Africa’s second club competition, and the KPL table shows which Kenyan club is on course for next season’s place.
