The 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League season will end on May 24, 2026, according to the full fixtures released by the league board on Thursday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Just over a week to the start of the new season, and after two weeks since the opening fixtures were released, the league body dropped the full fixtures on Thursday.
Defending champions Remo Stars will kick off their 2025/26 campaign with a headline clash against 2022 champions Rivers United, in what promises to be a thrilling curtain-raiser on August 22 in Ikenne.
Remo Stars won the 2024/25 NPFL title, claiming 71 points to win their first-ever NPFL title.
The opening weekend will be followed by 18 more weeks of tussle, leading up to the mid-season break from December 30, 2025, to January 6, 2026.
The mid-season transfer window will also be opened from January 1 to 30, as 20 clubs continue to fight for supremacy.
Match-day 38 will come up on Sunday, May 24, 2026, with fixtures that will see holders Remo Stars end their campaign away at Bendel Insurance.
Other match-day 38 fixtures include Rangers International’s clash against Ikorodu City in Lagos, Plateau United and Kano Pillars will do battle in Jos, just as Rivers United will host Katsina United.
Meanwhile, the NPFL is gradually leaning towards the introduction of the Video Assistant Referee and is also seeking new broadcast partners, with the possibility of having both next season.
After selecting some referees for VAR training, the NPFL has directed clubs to upgrade their stadiums to meet the required standard for the use of VAR.
