Matchday 6 of the 2025/26 CAF Champions League features crucial fixtures as five teams compete for the remaining quarter-final places. Several groups remain undecided, with teams like Pyramids, RS Berkane, and Al Ahly aiming to secure advancement. The action spans Saturday and Sunday across various African stadiums.
The 2025/26 CAF Champions League enters its decisive group stage phase with matchday 6 set for February 14 and 15, 2026. Five quarter-final berths remain open, promising intense competition among the continent's top clubs.
In Group A, Pyramids FC, the defending champions and group leaders, host Power Dynamos at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo on Saturday night. Pyramids remain unbeaten and lead the scoring charts with 11 goals, following a 4-1 victory over Rivers United on February 8. Power Dynamos sit third with seven points after a 2-0 win over RS Berkane earlier in February. Meanwhile, RS Berkane must defeat Rivers United at the Berkane Municipal Stadium that evening to clinch their spot; Rivers United's elimination was confirmed after their fourth loss in five games.
Group C hangs in the balance. Al Hilal, one point ahead of MC Alger, welcome Saint-Eloi Lupopo to the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Saturday afternoon, after suffering their first defeat, 2-1 to MC Alger on matchday 5. Saint-Eloi Lupopo drew 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns on February 8, reaching five points. Mamelodi Sundowns, needing a win to stay in contention, face MC Alger at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria that afternoon; they have drawn their last three group games, winless in four since a 3-1 victory over Lupopo on November 22. A point suffices for MC Alger to secure second place.
Group D sees unbeaten Stade Malien, five points clear, travel to Simba at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday evening, fresh from a 1-0 win over ES Tunis on February 8. ES Tunis and Petro de Luanda, tied on points but with ES Tunis holding a better goal difference, meet at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Tunis that afternoon; their reverse fixture ended 1-1 on November 29. Simba earned their second point via a 1-1 draw with Stade Malien on matchday 5.
On Sunday, Group B leaders Al Ahly, undefeated after a 0-0 draw with JS Kabylie on February 7, host AS FAR at the Cairo International Stadium in the evening. AS FAR lead Young Africans by three points following a 1-0 win over them on matchday 5. Young Africans must beat JS Kabylie at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar City that afternoon to challenge for second.
