NPFL title race heats up as Matchday 30 fixtures rescheduled

Posted : 11 March 2026

The race for the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title is set to intensify following the league body’s decision to reschedule Matchday 30 fixtures.

In a circular released on March 10 and signed by Chief Operating Officer Davidson Owumi, the league confirmed that the matches will now be played between March 14 and March 16, with the majority of the fixtures scheduled to kick off simultaneously at 4:00 pm across different centres.

Attention will be firmly on Lagos, where two key fixtures involving title contenders will take place.

Second-placed Rangers International FC will lock horns with Kwara United at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Sunday, March 15. The clash presents an opportunity for the Enugu-based side to settle scores with the Afonja Warriors after their painful defeat at the same venue in the semi-finals of the 2025 President Federation Cup.

Rangers, popularly known as the Flying Antelopes, have maintained impressive form in recent weeks as they continue their push for a ninth NPFL crown.

League leaders Rivers United FC will also be on the road to Lagos, where they face Ikorodu City FC on March 16 in another fixture that could have significant implications for the title race.

Meanwhile, former champions Enyimba FC will attempt to steady their campaign when they welcome Plateau United to Aba.

The decision to reschedule the fixtures comes in the wake of Matchday 29 results, which left the top of the table unchanged. Rivers United remain at the summit with 52 points and two games in hand, while Rangers International occupy second position with 50 points after 29 matches.

With only eight rounds remaining in the season, the upcoming Matchday 30 fixtures are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of the fiercely contested NPFL title race.
