Portmore and Cavalier to kick off Concacaf schedule in early August

Jamaica Premier League (JPL) champions Portmore United and runners-up Cavalier SC are set to commence their Concacaf Caribbean Cup group-stage journeys on August 4-5. Both Jamaican clubs earned their spots in the regional tournament by reaching the JPL final, a match that saw Portmore United triumph 5-3 on penalties following a 2-2 draw after regulation and extra time. The final match took place on May 24, 2026, at the National Stadium.

The Concacaf Caribbean Cup group stage is scheduled to run through mid-September. The semi-finals are slated for October, with the final competition set to conclude in early December. In their opening group-stage fixtures, Portmore United will travel to face Trinidad and Tobago's Salcedo FC at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on August 4. The following day, Cavalier SC will play away against Cibao FC at the Estadio Cibao FC in the Dominican Republic.

Looking ahead, Cavalier SC will host Salcedo FC at the National Stadium on August 20. A highly anticipated all-Jamaican clash between Portmore United and Cavalier SC is scheduled for September 3, also at the National Stadium. Meanwhile, third-place finishers Mt Pleasant FA will participate in the CFU Shield competition in July, where the finalists will earn qualification for the Concacaf competition.
