The SportPesa Premier League (SPL) 2026-27 season kick-off has been indefinitely postponed by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) due to a court order. The delay stems from an unresolved promotion and relegation play-off dispute.

• The postponement has caused significant disruption and financial implications for clubs, players, and fans.
• Key organizations involved include the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the involved clubs, Mombasa United and Kariobangi Sharks.
• This disruption raises serious concerns for Kenyan football's readiness for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) and national team performance.
