Egyptian clubs are preparing to compete in the second round of the Premier League, starting next Thursday with 4 matches: ZED FC vs Ceramica, Al Ittihad Alexandria vs Modern Sport, Tala’ea El Gaish vs Al Masry Port Said, and finally Pyramids vs Ismaily. The Professional Clubs Association confirmed in an official statement that match times have been changed to 6 PM and 9 PM instead of the previous 5 PM and 8 PM during August, to ensure the health and safety of players and spectators due to high temperatures. The new 2025-2026 Egyptian Premier League season includes 21 teams following the cancellation of relegation last season and the promotion of 3 teams from the second division. The league includes teams such as Al Ahly, Zamalek, Pyramids, Ismaily, Al Masry, Al Ittihad, Ceramica, and others. Al Ahly won last season’s title by just two points ahead of Pyramids after a strong competition.

Matches will be broadcast on ON Sport channel with an analytical studio featuring Egyptian football stars.
