Zambia Super League fixtures 2026-27

Zambia Super League fixtures show upcoming football matches by date, teams and kick-off time, with results added after play. The next scheduled game appears in the fixture module above, where football and soccer followers can also check the latest update date.

The Zambia Super League has a history that includes Mufulira Wanderers' three consecutive titles from 1965 to 1967. Its 2026 transition makes the competition format especially useful to understand before planning your viewing. Think of the fixture list as a departure board: read the latest time beside the match, then check its status before settling down.

How Do You Find Zambia Super League Games Today?

Choose the date filter to find today's matches, then narrow the list by club or round. A search for Zambia Super League today should lead you to the dated entries, where each pairing carries its scheduled kick-off and match status. For later games, move forward through the dates rather than assuming every club plays together. Zambian Super League fixtures can include rearranged matches, so check both the calendar date and the round label before making viewing plans.

Why Does the Transitional Fixture List Look Different?

The 2026 Transitional League divides 20 clubs into Stream A and Stream B, each containing 10 teams, whose winners meet in a final. The 2026 transition moves the league from the August to May calendar used since 2018 to a calendar year season from 2027. Its fixtures therefore need the stream label alongside the round, rather than being read as one usual home and away schedule. When comparing clubs, use the relevant stream in the Zambia Super League table and check which competition stage a fixture belongs to.

Where Can African Fans Watch, and at What Time?

Viewing availability needs a country specific listing for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa. TopStar's five year Zambian rights agreement was signed in August 2025, but that agreement alone does not confirm access in those five markets. Check a dated programme listing for your country that names the match before choosing a television package or stream.

Zambian kick-offs use CAT, which matches South Africa's SAST throughout the year. Nigeria is one hour behind Zambia, Ghana two hours behind, while Kenya and Uganda are one hour ahead. The comparison below uses an illustrative afternoon kick-off, rather than announcing a fixture. Read the actual time beside each match, especially after a postponement or television selection changes the schedule.

What Do the Title, Relegation and CAF Places Mean?

The standings determine progress towards the championship, survival and the available continental places under the applicable season rules. Under the normal league format, the lowest three clubs drop to the National League, with three promoted in return. Treat transitional arrangements separately. CAF allocations also depend on Zambia's association ranking, so do not assume four African places every season. Those places create connections across African football: Zambia's Nkana and ZESCO United shared a CAF Confederation Cup group with Ghana's Asante Kotoko in 2019.

How Do You Read Rounds, Postponements and Results?

A round number identifies a fixture's place in the competition schedule, while its date tells you when it is due to happen. A postponed match can retain its original round when moved elsewhere in the calendar. Read the status before treating an entry as confirmed, and distinguish an unplayed fixture from a completed score. Finished matches appear in the results module above; the full Zambia Super League results archive lets you follow earlier rounds without confusing them with upcoming Zambia league fixtures.

Which Clubs and African Connections Should You Follow?

Nkana, Power Dynamos, ZESCO United, Zanaco and Red Arrows offer useful starting points for following Zambian club football. The league began in 1962, when Roan United won its first championship. Zambia's victory over Ivory Coast in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final gives regional readers a defining national reference. Beyond this men's league, Zambia's Barbra Banda was named African Women's Footballer of the Year and BBC Women's Footballer of the Year in 2024. Readers in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda can follow the league to learn about potential CAF club opponents, with the 2019 meetings involving Asante Kotoko offering a direct Ghanaian connection.
