The Uganda Premier League Secretariat has confirmed the opening-round fixtures for the 2026/27 season, with the new campaign set to commence on 28th August at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.

A total of 12 clubs have met the mandatory licensing requirements and will take part in this season’s competition.

These include BUL FC, Express FC, Lugazi FC, Kigezi Homeboyz FC, Maroons FC, URA FC, Police FC, Mbarara City FC, Ntugasaze FC, SC Villa, Vipers SC, and UPDF FC, all poised to launch their respective title pursuits.

The curtain-raiser will see BUL FC host seven-time champions Express FC, a fixture that sets the tone for what promises to be a tightly contested opening phase.

Notably, several high-profile sides will be absent from the start list. KCCA FC, alongside newly promoted Blacks Power, Entebbe UPPC, and NEC, failed to secure the required club licensing and therefore miss out on the initial fixtures.
