In its resolve to sustain the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) round of calendar established in the recently concluded season, the Board on Friday announced that the 2025/26 season will commence on August 22, 2025, and end on May 22, 2026.
At a review of last season’s statistics and projections for the new season, Chairman of the NPFL, Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye, said the league is determined to establish a traditional period for the competition to enable clubs, players, match officials, and scouts to plan their own calendar.
He recalled that the board kept to its calendar for the last season, which began on August 31, 2024, and concluded on May 25, 2025.
He said the season was remarkable in the emergence of Remo Stars as the champions with three matches to spare after defeating Niger Tornadoes on Matchday 35 on April 27.
Giving a breakdown of numbers, he noted that of the total of 380 games, there were 286 wins and 94 were drawn, with a total of 784 goals scored.
