Kick-off on January 20, 2026, at 17:30.

In the seventh round of the Champions League league phase, the Kairat versus Brugge match will take place at the Astana Arena. This will be the first head-to-head confrontation between the collectives in official matches. Previously, the paths of the teams in European Cup tournaments have never crossed.

Kairat occupies the bottom of the league phase standings, holding thirty-sixth place with one point earned. However, the champion of Kazakhstan has already created a sensation in the current season by overcoming four rounds of qualifying and advancing to the main stage of the Premier League European Cup. The team earned its only point in a home match against the Cypriot club Paphos. In the last three rounds of the Champions League, the collective provided decent resistance against Inter, Copenhagen, and Olympiacos, but in each case, it lost by a narrow margin. The club aims to achieve maximum dedication within its home walls to earn its first points in the winter part of the competition.
