How the NPFL season works
The Nigeria Premier Football League is the country's top division, run by the NPFL board under the Nigeria Football Federation. Clubs play a home-and-away league season, three points for a win and one for a draw, with goal difference separating sides level on points. The champion enters the CAF Champions League, the runner-up or Federation Cup winner takes the CAF Confederation Cup slot, and the bottom clubs drop into the Nigeria National League.
Clubs to watch
Enyimba, Rivers United, Rangers International, Remo Stars, Plateau United, Kano Pillars, Shooting Stars and Lobi Stars have all shaped recent title races, and matchdays in Aba, Enugu, Ikenne and Jos regularly decide where the trophy goes. The table above updates through the season, so a Sunday afternoon result is reflected here shortly after full-time.
Where to go next
Track Nigeria's continental representatives in the CAF Champions League, follow the national side on the Super Eagles page, and check EPL fixtures in Nigerian time for the weekend's European schedule. The rest of the day's football sits on today's matches.
