Kaizer Chiefs have received a first-round bye in the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup after the preliminary round draw was conducted in Cairo on Thursday.
Amakhosi are among eight clubs exempted from the opening round of the competition and will enter at the second preliminary stage, where they will face either Red Arrows of Zambia or FC Rouge of Madagascar.
Kaizer Chiefs will play the first leg away before hosting the decisive second leg at the end of October, with a place in the lucrative group stage on the line.
