Egyptian Premier League fixtures show the next confirmed match and the following matchdays, with dates, teams, venues and local kick off times. The schedule above also separates live and finished games for football and soccer readers across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa.
The competition began in 1948, and the Egyptian Premier League remains a meeting point for African football ambitions. An 18:00 Cairo kick off in Egyptian standard time means 17:00 WAT, 16:00 GMT, 19:00 EAT and 18:00 SAST; during Egyptian daylight saving, it means 16:00 WAT, 15:00 GMT, 18:00 EAT and 17:00 SAST.
Where Are Today's Egyptian Premier League Games?
The today block groups Egyptian Premier League today listings by scheduled, live and finished status. Open a fixture for its date, teams and venue, then look below for the next few matchdays. A finished score belongs alongside the Egyptian Premier League table, also called the log in South Africa, because the result changes the wider contest. For earlier games, use the Egyptian Premier League results and check the match date before comparing performances.
How Does The Egyptian League Schedule Work?
The league generally runs from August to May, with clubs meeting home and away and fixtures spread across the week. Read the season selector for the participating clubs and total, since those details belong to the selected campaign. Egypt league fixtures can move around CAF club commitments, domestic cup ties and national team windows. A round label therefore does not mean every game happens together. Check each match's confirmed date and any CAF clash marker before planning your viewing.
What Time Are Games, And Where Can Africa Watch?
Use the local time columns together, because Cairo's seasonal clock change alters the gap across all five countries. Cairo uses UTC+2 in standard time and UTC+3 during daylight saving, which Egypt resumed in 2023. Lagos uses WAT, Accra GMT, Nairobi and Kampala EAT, and Johannesburg SAST. The comparison below shows what the same evening fixture means in each city; a late Cairo start can still mean an evening appointment for West African viewers.
ON Sport has held the domestic broadcast rights since 2016, but access elsewhere in Africa depends on local availability. Check the country viewing listing for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda or South Africa against the individual fixture. A domestic channel listing alone does not establish access in your country. If coverage is unavailable, follow the live score and finished result on your phone, then use the match details to understand the game's contribution to the league campaign.
| Cairo clock | Lagos, WAT | Accra, GMT | Nairobi, EAT | Kampala, EAT | Johannesburg, SAST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard time, UTC+2 | 17:00 | 16:00 | 19:00 | 19:00 | 18:00 |
| Daylight saving, UTC+3 | 16:00 | 15:00 | 18:00 | 18:00 | 17:00 |
How Are Points And Relegation Decided?
A win earns 3 points and a draw earns 1, while the bottom three clubs go down to the Egyptian Second Division A. Read points beside matches played, because rescheduling can leave clubs with different amounts of football completed. The home and away format gives each opponent a return meeting. Use the Egyptian Premier League stats to explore individual contributions alongside the standings, especially when following African players whose work extends beyond scoring.
How Do You Keep Track Of Rearranged Matches?
A rearranged fixture should be followed by its latest confirmed date, time and venue. When checking Egypt Premier League fixtures, distinguish postponed games from matches with a replacement date already assigned. If you save a match to your phone calendar, revisit the listing before travelling or arranging a viewing centre meet up.
Which Clubs And African Connections Should You Follow?
Start with Al Ahly v Zamalek, the Cairo derby, then explore Pyramids FC and the other clubs in the season list. CAF named Al Ahly African Club of the Century in 2000, giving readers in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda a continental connection to explore alongside the derby. Ghana's Emmanuel Quarshie played for Zamalek and Cameroon's Joseph Antoine Bell represented Al Mokawloon during the 1980s. For Nigerian readers tracking possible Super Eagles connections, open the confirmed line ups and player profiles before choosing which match to follow.
