The wait is almost over! The 2025/26 Ghana Premier League officially kicks off on Friday, September 12, 2025, and the big launch will take place at the Accra Sports Stadium. This year, the event will have a touch of class as President John Dramani Mahama himself graces the occasion as Special Guest of Honour.
And it’s not just about football. Fans are in for a treat, with Stonebwoy set to light up the night with an electrifying performance before the first whistle blows.
The opening clash is already generating buzz as Accra Hearts of Oak will lock horns with newcomers Hohoe United in a fixture that promises both excitement and surprises.
Meanwhile, defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars SC return with pride, ready to prove their maiden title last season wasn’t a fluke. The likes of Kotoko, Medeama, and Hearts will no doubt be eager to reclaim their dominance.
The registration window for the season ran from June 23 to August 24, 2025, giving clubs ample time to finalize their squads.
The full fixtures were released on August 4, 2025, allowing fans to map out the action-packed months ahead.
The season officially kicks off on the weekend of September 12, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on the weekend of May 23 or 24, 2026.
Defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars SC enter the season with high expectations, having won their first-ever GPL title last year.
The league also welcomes Hohoe United, Techiman Eleven Wonders, and Swedru All Blacks, who secured promotion to the top flight. They replace Nsoatreman, Legon Cities, and Accra Lions, who were relegated after the 2024/25 season.
With football fans eager for the return of Ghana’s top-flight action, the launch ceremony will set the tone for the months ahead. For many supporters, the question is whether Gold Stars can defend their crown or if traditional giants like Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko, or Medeama will reclaim dominance.
As the countdown begins, all eyes turn to the Accra Sports Stadium on September 12, where the new season’s story will officially kick off.
