Ghana Premier League table 2026-27

The Ghana Premier League table ranks 18 clubs (the size of the division since 2019-20) over 34 matches each, with points deciding the order. The champion earns Ghana's place in the CAF Champions League, and the bottom three drop to Division One, so both ends of the table matter from the first matchday. For South African soccer fans, the Champions League place is the useful link, because it shows which Ghanaian club could meet South African sides in the continental competition.

The live table for this season sits above, beside results and fixtures, with its last updated time stamped in Ghana time. Below are the zones and the tiebreaks, then the history of Kotoko, Hearts of Oak and Medeama and the record for most titles. The final 2025-26 table is kept in the archive. Think of it as the table, or log, with the commentary switched on, and for the wider story of the competition, start at the Ghana Premier League hub.

What Do the Zones on the GPL Table Mean?

The top row is the route into Africa, and the three shaded rows at the foot are the route out of the top flight. The champion takes the CAF Champions League place, which is why Medeama, champions in 2025-26, carry Ghana into the 2026-27 edition. Ghana sat 12th in CAF's association ranking in 2026, which gave the country two entries in each CAF club competition, so the clubs near the top are watched well beyond Accra and Kumasi. At the other end, the bottom three are relegated to the Division One League. If your club is in that band, the fixtures module shows how many matches remain, and a run of home wins is usually what changes the picture.

How Is the Ghana League Table Decided When Clubs Are Level?

When two clubs finish level on points, the order shown in the key beside the table module decides their places. Goal difference is simply goals for minus goals against, and the GD column does that sum for you. A heavy win lifts the goal tally as well as the points, as Asante Kotoko showed when they beat Bechem by six goals to nil on 28 December 2025, the biggest home win of 2025-26. In the closing weeks a tight race can turn on that column, so it is worth watching alongside the points.

How Often Does the GPL Table Update, and Where Is the 2025-26 Final Table?

The table updates after every full time whistle, and the stamp above it shows when it last changed, which makes it a live GPL table rather than a snapshot. The Ghana Premier League results page holds every score that moved it. If you are searching for the Ghana Premier League table 2025-26, the final table from that season sits in the archive. It was the 70th season, running from 12 September 2025 to 24 May 2026, and Medeama sealed their second title by beating Heart of Lions 5 to 2 on 17 May 2026 with a game to spare. Augustine Okrah of Bechem United finished as top scorer with 17 goals.

What Time Do GPL Matches Kick Off in GMT, WAT, SAST and EAT?

Ghana keeps GMT all year, so every kick off in Accra or Kumasi is one hour later in Lagos (WAT), two hours later in Johannesburg (SAST) and three hours later in Nairobi and Kampala (EAT). The Ghana Premier League fixtures list shows each time in all four zones. Media General Ghana (TV3) was awarded the broadcast and commercialisation rights on 31 July 2025, from the 2025-26 season.

What Is the History of Asante Kotoko, Hearts of Oak and Medeama?

Asante Kotoko drew the highest average home league crowd of 2025-26, at 20,163, and lead the roll of honour with 25 titles to the end of 2025-26. Accra Hearts of Oak follow with 20, so the Accra and Kumasi rivalry runs through the history of the league. Medeama have become the newer name in that conversation, with titles in 2022-23 and 2025-26. When you compare clubs in the table, read the P column first: a club with a game in hand has points available, though they only count once the match is played. The Ghana Premier League stats page adds the goals and clean sheets behind each position.

Where Do Ghana's Champions and Players Fit in Africa?

The title carries a long Ghanaian story. The league began in 1958, replacing the Gold Coast Club Competition, and turned professional before the 1989-90 season. Bibiani Gold Stars, champions in 2024-25 for the first time, show the trophy has travelled beyond the big two in recent seasons.

The continental link is easy to check. Medeama, champions in 2025-26, enter the 2026-27 CAF Champions League as Ghana's champion, so that competition is where a Ghanaian side meets clubs from across Africa. The players carry the same thread: Peter Lamptey was the league's first top scorer, with 26 goals in 1973, and Augustine Okrah of Bechem United was the top scorer in 2025-26 with 17 goals. Readers in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda can follow Medeama carrying Ghana into the 2026-27 CAF Champions League, where clubs from their own countries can also appear, by checking the fixtures module for each kick off time in their own zone.
