Egypt's football leaders met with Premier League clubs and announced the new season dates. The Egyptian Football Association chose August 15 as the kickoff date for 2025/2026. The season will wrap up during May 2026. Officials made this decision after talking with the Egyptian Clubs Association.
Teams playing continental matches will get extra rest between games. Clubs receive three days off before league matches when African competitions happen inside Egypt. Teams get four days of rest when continental games take place outside the country. This gives players more time to recover between different tournaments.
The Egypt Cup and Capital Cup preliminary rounds will happen during national team breaks. Al Ahly won last season's Egyptian League title for the 45th time. The club continues to dominate Egyptian football with another championship victory. Their latest win adds to their record collection of league titles.
Twenty-one teams will compete during the upcoming Premier League season. The competition uses a unique two-group format for matches. All teams play together during the first round of games. The second round splits teams based on their standings. The top seven teams battle for the championship. Teams ranked eighth through twenty-first fight to avoid relegation.
