The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) will conduct the official fixture draw for the 2026/27 season during its Annual General Meeting (AGM) taking place in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Friday, August 7.
The AGM serves as the league’s primary decision-making assembly, bringing together the NPFL board and club leadership to review the concluded campaign and ratify operational policies for the incoming season. The event is scheduled to hold at the Professor Theophilus Ogunlesi Events Hall, located opposite the University College Hospital in Ibadan.
NPFL Chairman Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye highlighted the board’s achievements over the past four seasons, pointing to the establishment of a consistent August-to-May league calendar as a major milestone for Nigerian domestic football. He noted that maintaining a stable schedule has eliminated the historical uncertainty surrounding season completion dates.
Elegbeleye also referenced ongoing efforts to expand television access across the country, stating that while the league has made significant strides toward securing regular live broadcast coverage, further work remains to be done.
Key reports are slated for presentation during the business session. Chief Operating Officer Davidson Owumi will present the technical and operational report, while GTI Asset Management is scheduled to deliver the financial report to stakeholders.
The fixture draw will take place immediately following the business proceedings, officially setting the match schedule for the upcoming 2026/27 campaign.
