The 2026/2027 Sportpesa League season is scheduled to begin on Saturday, the 19th of September, putting an end to the ongoing uncertainty about when it would start. This was confirmed after a meeting between the Federation and club representatives on Wednesday, where they discussed and agreed on various key matters. The clubs have also signed off on the implementation of the foreign players' quota, as well as the provision of ambulances during league matches, and other matters that were already complied with during the previous season.
The agreement allows clubs to register up to seven foreign players, with a maximum of five eligible to participate in any given match. Additionally, each league match will have two ambulances on the field as part of the agreed match-day medical arrangements. Four matches are set for Saturday, while the remaining four of the opening round are scheduled for Sunday.
