The NPFL has tentatively fixed August 27 to 29 for the 2026/27 season kickoff, with champions set to receive a record ₦1bn prize purse.
The NSC has unveiled a major NPFL reform proposal featuring a ₦1bn champion prize and a ₦2m minimum salary benchmark, though final confirmation from league authorities is still pending.
Eric Chelle will remain Super Eagles coach after fresh NFF terms and will also handle Nigeria’s U-23 team as the NSC pushes a long-term rebuild.
