The Castle Lager Premier Soccer League has taken a bold and refreshing step by releasing the full 2026 season fixtures before the campaign kicks off, marking a first in the league’s history. It is a move that brings clarity, excitement and renewed anticipation, giving clubs, players and supporters a clear roadmap for what promises to be a thrilling season.
With the full schedule now available, teams finally have ample time to plan, prepare and pace themselves for the long haul. From training cycles to squad rotation and travel logistics, the early release offers a major boost to professionalism across the league. The dates for Matchday 18 to 34 will be confirmed later, once CAF, CHAN and COSAFA calendars are finalised, but already the tone has been set.
Matchday One alone delivers mouth-watering fixtures. Newly promoted Hardrock FC are thrown straight into the deep end against reigning champions Scottland FC. The encounter carries added intrigue, with both sides heavily active in the transfer market and two high-profile coaching storylines. Kelvin Kaindu begins life at Hardrock after guiding Dynamos to safety last season, while Norman Mapeza makes a shock switch from FC Platinum to Scottland.
Elsewhere, another promoted side, Agama, faces a stern test against CAPS United, while FC Hunter take on MWOS FC in what will be a fascinating early benchmark. In Bulawayo, the Bulawayo Chiefs and Highlanders renew their rivalry in a fixture that always delivers drama.
With fixtures confirmed early and storylines already taking shape, the countdown to the 2026 PSL season has officially begun. One question remains: who are you most excited to watch this year?
