The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially unveiled the fixtures for the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League, setting the stage for another exciting season featuring title contenders, fierce regional rivalries and the highly anticipated Super Clash between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak.

The new campaign will kick off over the weekend of September 4–7, 2026, with all 18 clubs beginning their quest for league glory.

Defending champions Medeama SC will launch their title defence with a challenging away fixture against Dreams FC, while last season’s runners-up Bibiani Gold Stars also face a difficult opening-day trip to Bechem United.

One of the biggest attractions on Matchday One will see newly promoted Debibi United FC make their historic Ghana Premier League debut at home against Asante Kotoko, one of Ghana’s most successful clubs.

Another newly promoted side, Port City FC, will also begin life in the top flight on home soil when they face fellow newcomers FC AshantiGold 04 in their first-ever Premier League meeting.

Elsewhere, Hearts of Oak welcome Berekum Chelsea to Accra, while Basake Holy Stars host Swedru All Blacks.

Other opening weekend fixtures include:
