The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced the full fixture calendar for the 2026/27 Women's Premier League. Defending champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies will begin their title defence on the weekend of 23-26 October 2026 against a 20-club field. The league will feature 20 elite clubs split evenly between the Northern and Southern Zones, with 10 teams competing in each.
The new season will run for 18 matchdays before wrapping up the group phase on the weekend of 9-12 April 2027. The two zone winners will then meet in a season-ending League final scheduled for the weekend of 30 April to 3 May 2027 to decide the ultimate champion. Ampem Darkoa Ladies return to the competition on the back of an impressive 2025/26 campaign that earned them the league crown.
Hasaacas Ladies have been named as Ampem Darkoa Ladies' chief rivals this season, described as perennial contenders who will be eager to reclaim the title they have chased in previous years. The rivalry between the two clubs has been a feature of Ghanaian women's football in recent seasons.
The confirmed calendar gives clarity on when matches will be played across both zones, allowing clubs, players and supporters to plan around a season that stretches from October 2026 through to early May 2027. The structure, with separate Northern and Southern Zones feeding into a single final, means fans in different parts of the country will have a more localised fixture programme before the eventual champions are decided on the national stage.
The league continues to attract commercial support, with the GFA naming KFC, Gold Fields and betPawa among the competition's backers. Other partners mentioned by the GFA include Nasco Electronics, Melcom, Decathlon, Goil and STC, reflecting continued corporate interest in Ghana's top-flight women's competition.
With the calendar now confirmed, the 2026/27 Women's Premier League is set to kick off on 23-26 October 2026. The GFA has not provided further details on specific fixtures or venues for the opening weekend, but the season is scheduled to run through 18 matchdays before the League final takes place between 30 April and 3 May 2027.
The GFA's announcement brings clarity and excitement to Ghanaian women's football, with fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming season. As Ampem Darkoa Ladies defend their title, Hasaacas Ladies and other contenders will look to challenge their dominance and claim the championship.
