Ugandan champions, KCCA, will play at home first against Club D. 1e Agosto – the champions of Angola – in early February on the weekend of the 10th, with the return leg taking place one week later in Luanda. Both KCCA, from Kampala, as well as 1e de Agosto are taking place in the CCL for the first time since 2014, and whoever makes it into the first round will be eager to take a major scalp by knocking out last year's winners. Sundowns' first game will take place on the weekend of March 10th, with Masandawana playing at home first and then the away leg one week later on the weekend of the 17th.
