Notes

^ Teams from Libya play their home matches outside the country due to security concerns from the ongoing civil war.
^ CR Belouizdad play their home matches at Stade du 5 Juillet, Algiers, instead of their regular home stadium Stade du 20 Août, Algiers, which did not meet CAF requirements.
^ The Espérance de Tunis v Al Ahly match, originally scheduled to be played at 17:00 local time (UTC+1), was postponed for one hour due to clashes between Tunisian police officers and Espérance de Tunis fans.
