SINGAPORE, 24 JULY 2026 – The Singapore Premier League (SPL) returns this September, with the new campaign kicking off on 11 September.
The season’s curtain-raiser, the Community Shield, will take place on Sunday, 6 September, when the 2025/26 SPL champions Lion City Sailors take on Tampines Rovers at Jalan Besar Stadium. Kick-off is at 7.30pm.
The SPL2 will get its campaign underway even earlier, with Tampines Rovers hosting Hougang United at Our Tampines Hub on Monday, 24 August, giving clubs’ developmental squads an early taste of competitive action ahead of the main League season. For the full list of SPL2 fixtures, please refer to this link.
This season also sees a notable shift in the League’s club landscape. Tampines Rovers’ partnership with BG Pathum has come to an end, and moving forward, the Stags will drop the “BG” prefix as they return to their traditional identity. Meanwhile, Albirex Niigata (S) will compete as FC Jurong, continuing the club’s transition towards operating under the same regulations as Singapore-based clubs.

Hougang United welcome Lion City Sailors to Bishan Stadium the following day, before Young Lions face FC Jurong at Jalan Besar Stadium on 13 September.
