Broadcast channels and online options for the Al Ahly vs JS Kabylie clash
Al Ahly hosts JS Kabylie at Cairo International Stadium on Saturday as the two clubs begin their CAF Champions League 2025-2026 campaign, eagerly anticipated by fans across the continent.
The Egyptian giants aim to reclaim the continental crown after last season’s lull, counting on the experience of their international squad and key figures such as the goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy and midfielders Aliou Diang and Marwan Attia, complemented by the attacking threat of Mohamed Sherif and Taher Mohamed Taher.
JS Kabylie arrive with positive momentum from domestic play and seek a strong away result to kick off a group that also features AS FAR Rabat of Morocco and Young Africans SC of Tanzania.
The Algerian side will look to translate their domestic confidence into a disciplined away performance against the competition’s most decorated team, who sit at the top of the list in titles won.

Analysts will be watching whether Al Ahly’s seasoned attackers can break through Kabylie’s defense, and whether the Algerian side can upset the home side on their soil.

Punchlines from the experts: If the match ends 0-0, the defenses will have earned the night’s standing ovation. If a goal is scored, the celebrations will be louder than the stadium speakers—and that’s saying something. And yes, if VAR appears, the wait for a decision will feel longer than a transfer window rumor season.
