This page provides the summaries of the matches of the qualifying rounds for the group stage of the 2011 CAF Champions League.
The schedule for the tournament was released in October 2010,[1] and the draw for all three rounds was held in Cairo on 20 December 2010.[2]
Qualification ties were decided over two legs, with aggregate goals used to determine the winner. If the sides were level on aggregate after the second leg, the away goals rule applied, and if still level, the tie proceeded directly to a penalty shootout (no extra time is played).[3]

This was a knock-out stage of the 46 teams that did not receive byes to the first round.
First legs: 28–30 January 2011; Second legs: 11–13, 25–27 February and 4–6 March 2011.[4]

Special play-off[]
On 14 May 2011, the CAF announced that TP Mazembe from Congo DR were disqualified from the Champions League group stage following a complaint about the eligibility of TP Mazembe's player Janvier Besala Bokungu from Tanzanian side Simba, which lost to them in the first round. As a result, the Organising Committee decided that a replacement for the group stage would be determined by a play-off match at a neutral venue, between Simba and Moroccan side Wydad AC, which lost to TP Mazembe in the second round.[11][12]
