Five NPL 2026 league fixtures to circle in your calendar
A final rematch, the champions against the capital, and a last-day double-header that could decide the top four.
Twenty-eight league matches in three weeks makes for a busy schedule. These five stand out.
1. Lumbini Lions vs Sudurpaschim Royals — Mon 26 Oct, 4:30 PM
Opening night is a rematch of the 2025 final. Sudurpaschim have lost the last two finals and get a chance at the champions straight away.
2. Janakpur Bolts vs Kathmandu Gorkhas — Thu 29 Oct, 12:30 PM
The inaugural champions finished bottom last season and kept only five players. Early results will show whether their rebuild has worked.
3. Kathmandu Gorkhas vs Lumbini Lions — Sat 7 Nov, 4:30 PM
Lumbini knocked the Gorkhas out in last season's Eliminator. Karan KC's side get their first chance at revenge on a single-header Saturday.
4. Biratnagar Kings vs Lumbini Lions — Sat 14 Nov, 4:30 PM
A rematch of last year's Qualifier 2, and the champions' final league game. With one day of the league stage left, a lot could depend on it.
5. Final-day double-header — Sun 15 Nov
Chitwan Rhinos vs Karnali Yaks at 12:30 PM, then Pokhara Avengers vs Kathmandu Gorkhas at 4:30 PM. If the race for fourth is close, this is where it gets settled.
