Uganda Premier League fixtures 2026-27

Uganda Premier League games run to 18 clubs each playing 34 matches, home and away, this season. The fixture list above shows every game in date order with its venue and its kick-off in East Africa Time (EAT), and the converter sets the same start beside WAT, GMT and SAST. A 4pm start in Kampala reads as 2pm in Lagos, 1pm in Accra and 3pm in Johannesburg. Below that sits a plain guide to how the soccer season runs and where to follow it.

The Uganda Premier League hub holds the wider story, from the first season in 1968 to the record books. A fixture list works much like a radio programme guide, because the slots are set weeks ahead, and when one moves there is usually a reason worth knowing. The sections that follow explain why venues and dates can change, and how to keep your own calendar right.

How Do You Find Uganda Premier League Games and Their Kick-off Times?

The fixtures module lists the games in date order, each with its date, start time and ground. Open a fixture to see any note on a change, and a finished game carries its score across to the results list. Uganda shares a clock with Nairobi, which means Kenyan readers need no sum at all. Nigeria is two hours behind Uganda and Ghana is three hours behind. South Africa is one hour behind, and the converter table below does the sums for the usual start times.

How Does the UPL Fixture List Work, and Why Do Games Move?

This season each club hosts every opponent once and visits each of them once. A fixture is only settled once the ground is cleared, so venues can change and the fixture should be checked on the day. The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, co-hosted by Uganda with Kenya and Tanzania from 19 June to 17 July 2027, can also shape the calendar. A continental tournament takes national team players away from their clubs and puts stadiums under tournament use, so leagues often move dates around its window, and any such change appears as a note on the fixture.

Where Can You Watch or Follow Uganda Premier League Games in Your Country?

The broadcast line on each fixture shows a channel wherever coverage is confirmed for your country. The league has carried the StarTimes name since 2018. A blank broadcast line means no confirmed coverage rather than a missing game, and the live score still updates as it is played.

The Mandela National Stadium in Kampala is a listed 2027 Africa Cup of Nations venue, with about 64,125 seats after renovation. For readers in Lagos or Johannesburg, a live score app and the clubs' official channels are the steadiest way to follow, with the converted start time set beside them.

What Do the Table and Relegation to the Big League Mean?

The Uganda Premier League table (the log, to South African readers) ranks all 18 clubs on the points from their results. The bottom places drop to the FUFA Big League and Big League sides come up in their place. Both zones are marked on the table, and the Uganda Premier League results show how each point was won. A game between two sides near the foot can matter as much as one at the top.

How Do You Add Uganda Premier League Games to Your Phone Calendar?

The add to calendar option on each fixture saves the game in EAT, and your phone then shows it in your own time zone, whether you are in Abuja or Durban. Should a game be postponed, it keeps its place in the list with a postponed note, and the new date appears on the fixture once it is confirmed. It is worth a second look on matchday morning, because venue switches can come late and a saved entry may not update itself.

Which Clubs, Derbies and African Connections Should You Watch?

SC Villa lead the roll of honour with 17 league titles since their first in 1982, with KCCA on 13 and Vipers on 8. Villa also edged Express on goal difference in the 2003 title race, lifted the CECAFA Clubs Cup in 1987, 2003 and 2005, and played in the African Cup of Champions Clubs final in 1991. Those Kampala clubs, Villa, KCCA and Express among them, make the city meetings the fixtures to circle, because they share a city and often a title race. KCCA took Uganda into the CAF Champions League group stage in 2018. Vipers, who play at St. Mary's Stadium-Kitende in Wakiso District, reached the 2022 to 2023 group stage by winning their qualifying round against TP Mazembe of DR Congo, four to two on penalties. Mazembe are a name known to readers from Lagos to Johannesburg for their continental titles, so that tie links Ugandan football to the wider African game. Kenyan readers also share the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations with Uganda as co-hosts. Majid Musisi holds the all-time record of 113 league goals, and the Uganda Premier League stats module shows how close current scorers are.
