Simba fixtures and results

Simba fixtures list scheduled matches for Simba, the Dar es Salaam football club, with opponents, competitions and local kick-off times. Football and soccer supporters across the five countries can read each fixture by opponent, competition and local kick-off time, checking its confirmation status before making plans.

Founded in 1936, Simba were founded as The Queens. For Simba Bhora or a Lioness side, check the full team name before following a fixture: a familiar badge colour alone is no guide.

What Time Is Simba Playing Across Africa?

Simba kick-off times in Nairobi and Kampala match Dar es Salaam because all use East Africa Time. Lagos uses WAT, Accra uses GMT and Johannesburg uses SAST, so read the country label beside each fixture. The comparison below applies to the same kick-off, including away games. Check the date as well as the hour before arranging a viewing centre visit or travelling to the ground.

How Do You Read Simba Fixtures and Results?

The fixtures list separates scheduled matches by competition and identifies whether Simba play at home or away. Read the Tanzanian Premier League entries alongside the table, or log, and distinguish them from CAF Champions League ties and domestic cups. For a continental group, check every opponent and venue rather than treating the schedule as a single knockout tie. A provisional entry still needs a confirmed kick-off before travel plans become firm.

The results list supplies the latest completed score, while the status label distinguishes a finished match from one still being played. In continental competition, read the result alongside the group standings or aggregate score, depending on the round. Qualification depends on that wider picture. Flag every Young Africans entry separately: Young Africans against Simba is the Kariakoo derby, with its own importance beyond the immediate competition.

Where Can You Watch Simba Live?

Where you can watch Simba live depends on the competition and your country, so use the broadcaster information attached to the match. A television listing for Tanzania does not establish streaming access in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana or South Africa. Open the match entry for its live score and available commentary. Confirm the broadcaster before buying access, and use text updates when mobile data is limited.

Why Do Simba Fixtures Matter Beyond Tanzania?

Simba combine a major Tanzanian rivalry with a continental record that gives their fixtures interest across Africa. They reached the CAF Champions League quarter finals in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons, then finished as CAF Confederation Cup runners up in 2024/25. Those dated achievements explain the stakes when another African opponent arrives: supporters are following a club with experience of reaching the closing rounds, where qualification makes each result part of a larger campaign.

The name Wekundu wa Msimbazi connects Simba's red identity with Msimbazi and Kariakoo, while the derby gives that identity its clearest football expression. Simba's 1977 victory over Young Africans finished 6 to 0, a defining result in the rivalry. Kenyan and Ugandan readers can follow the schedule alongside the results. Tanzania forward Mbwana Samatta played for Simba from 2010 to 2011 before joining TP Mazembe in 2011.

Simba play home matches at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, but the venue on the individual fixture remains the practical starting point. Fans travelling from Nairobi or Kampala should confirm the ground and kick-off before arranging transport and accommodation. Find ticket instructions through the club's verified announcements and check the sales arrangements for that particular match. Leave room in the journey for arriving early and returning after the final whistle.
