DR Congo – Sierra Leone: date, kick-off time, TV channel and stakes
The Democratic Republic of the Congo host Sierra Leone this Thursday, November 12, at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa, in the third round of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. After winning both of their opening matches, the Leopards will be looking to build on their excellent start to the campaign and strengthen their hold on top spot in Group E.
Match date, kick-off time, venue and TV channels
The match between DR Congo and Sierra Leone is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 16:00 GMT, or 17:00 in Kinshasa. The match will be played at the Stade des Martyrs de la Pentecôte in Kinshasa, in front of the Congolese fans.
According to the available broadcast listings, the match will be shown on several international platforms, including beIN SPORTS, Canal+, New World Sports and national channels such as RTNC in DR Congo.
DR Congo aim to stay top of Group E
The Leopards have made a perfect start to their campaign. They first beat Equatorial Guinea (2-0), then won away to Zimbabwe (2-1). That record gives them six points and sole possession of first place in Group E. A Congolese victory would therefore allow DR Congo to keep the pressure on their rivals and strengthen their lead in the standings.
Sierra Leone are in a different situation. The Leone Stars have lost their first two matches, against Zimbabwe (2-3) and then Equatorial Guinea (0-1). They are therefore bottom of the group without a point. Sallieu Tarawallie will be one to watch. He has scored one goal and provided one assist this season.
