The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially confirmed the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League calendar.
The football governing body announced this in a statement dated July 20, issued by its Communications Department in Accra.
The announcement was made via the GFA’s official website and press channels, outlining the season’s start from September 4–7, 2026, and scheduled to end on May 28–31, 2027.
The approved schedule reflects the GFA’s continued commitment to aligning Ghana’s domestic football calendar with the FIFA calendar for Member Associations, ensuring timely completion of the league while enhancing planning, competitiveness and operational efficiency.
Following the GFA Congress on August 20, clubs will have adequate time to complete their pre-season preparations before the new campaign gets underway.
As in the previous season, Premier League matches will primarily be played on weekends, with midweek fixtures reserved only for outstanding matches. The arrangement is aimed at providing greater fixture stability and reducing scheduling congestion.
Defending champions Medeama SC will begin the new season looking to retain their title against the country's leading clubs after lifting the 2025/26 championship.
The 2026/27 campaign will also feature three newly promoted clubs. Debibi United, FC AshantiGold 04 and Port City FC secured promotion from the Division One League and will be aiming to establish themselves in Ghana's top flight.
The GFA says it remains committed to delivering a well-organised and competitive league season for clubs, players, match officials, commercial partners and supporters across the country.
