Kick-offs
NPFL match days and kick-off times
NPFL match days fall mostly on Sunday, with nearly every game starting at 16:00 WAT. Midweek rounds are played on Wednesday, and a few fixtures move to Friday, Saturday or Monday when a club has a CAF tie or a ground is unavailable.
Each day carries its matchday number, so Matchday 12 shows as one block even when two of its games are played later. Postponed matches stay in place with a PP badge until a new date is fixed.
The NPFL calendar also pauses for Super Eagles windows and the festive period. A gap of two weeks between matchdays is normal around international breaks.

Latest NPFL results
Latest NPFL results from the last ten days follow, newest first, with the final score of every match. A bold name marks the winning side, and FT confirms the match is over.
Home wins dominate most rounds. A weekend with two or three away wins is unusual and tends to move the table more than any single result at the top.

Nigerian clubs between the league and CAF
Nigerian clubs in the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup play their continental ties midweek or on weekends, and their NPFL games are moved around those dates. That is why a few clubs carry matches in hand for most of the autumn.
A club returning from a long CAF away trip often plays its next NPFL match within four days. Rotated line-ups and tired legs show in those results, and the form column on the NPFL table picks them up.
The CAF club fixtures sit on their own pages with kick-offs in WAT, next to the European competitions. Following both lists side by side shows which NPFL dates are likely to move before the weekend.
