The Zambian Premier League has released the fixtures for the 2026 Transition Season, with the campaign set to begin on 3 October and run through to January 2027.
The season will officially open with the Charity Shield on 19 September, when defending champions Power Dynamos face Red Arrows in a repeat of the country’s top-flight rivalry.
The Charity Shield date has been brought forward to accommodate the two clubs’ continental commitments and the subsequent international break.
The men’s international window runs from 21 September to 6 October, with Zambia beginning their TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations PAMOJA 2027 qualifying campaign away to Algeria before hosting Togo.
As a result, the opening league matches will not be played until 3 October.
