FUFA release UPL Club Licensing roadmap for 2026/27 season

Every finish line is the beginning of a new race is a common saying which means executing one assignment is not an endpoint but rather a stepping stone to the next challenge.
For FUFA, the 2025/26 Uganda Premier League might have ended just a few days ago, but the focus has already shifted towards preparations for the next campaign which is expected to start in August.
On Monday, 1st June 2026, the timelines for the Club Licensing process were revealed indicating the different key focus areas.
Already, the FUFA Men’s Club Licensing Regulations and FUFA Stadium Classification Regulations were released on Thursday last week.
On June, 10th, Uganda Premier League Club CEOs will hold a pre-season Licensing workshop. On the same day, the Club Licensing Online Platform (CLOP) will open. This is an electronic tool system introduced by CAF in 2022, rolled out across Member Associations, designed to manage the licensing process and stadium inspections for continental and domestic competitions.
On June 15th, the Club Licensing Point Score System will open. This approach evaluates clubs for league participation. Mandatory (Criteria A) requirements must be met before point scoring begins. Then, clubs are graded based on points accumulated across sporting, infrastructure, personnel, legal, and financial categories.
The Transfer Window (Primary Registration Window) will begin on July 1st while the physical inspection visits will run for 15 days from 1st – 15th July.
The 2026/27 Uganda Premier League fixtures will be released on July 28th.
August 1st – 16th has been set aside as the period in which the FUFA Super 8 tournament will be played. The season curtain raiser between League Champions Vipers SC and Uganda Cup Winners Kitara will be played on August 23rd.
The 2026/27 Uganda Premier League season will kickoff on August 28th with the transfer window expected to close on September 19th.
