The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially announced that the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season will commence on the weekend of September 12, 2025, and wrap up by May 23/24, 2026. This timeline aligns seamlessly with the FIFA international calendar, ensuring that Ghana’s top domestic league concludes well ahead of the 23rd FIFA World Cup, scheduled from June 11 to July 19, 2026, in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
This scheduling initiative is part of the GFA’s broader strategy to maintain synergy with FIFA’s global football schedule, offering clubs, players, and fans a structured roadmap for the season. It also provides ample preparation time for Ghana’s national team ahead of the World Cup qualifiers and tournament.
Similar to previous seasons, league matches will predominantly take place on Sundays, with midweek slots designated for rescheduled games and outstanding fixtures. This approach aims to streamline the season and avoid unnecessary disruptions.
Preparations for the new campaign will gain momentum as the GFA convenes its Ordinary Congress on August 12, 2025. The Congress will finalize plans for the upcoming season and address critical issues within Ghanaian football.
The early announcement of the league dates has been met with enthusiasm by clubs, who now have the clarity needed to plan their preseason training, player transfers, and logistical arrangements. Fans are also looking forward to another thrilling season of football, as Ghana’s top teams prepare to battle for supremacy on the domestic stage.
With this proactive move, the GFA is setting the stage for a well-organized and exciting season, cementing Ghana’s reputation as a nation that values football excellence.
