The Algerian Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has announced the official end date for the current season. The final round of matches in the Ligue 1 is scheduled to take place on Friday, May 22, 2026.
The Algerian Football Federation’s (FAF) federal bureau ratified the second-leg schedule during its meeting held Thursday at the National Technical Center in Sidi Moussa. The LFP subsequently released a statement detailing the updated calendar.
According to the revised schedule, February will see four full rounds of league fixtures. The remaining nine matchdays are distributed across March, April, and May, with three rounds of games planned for each month. This distribution aims to maintain a balanced competitive rhythm and ensure the season concludes within the designated timeframe.
Furthermore, the outstanding matches involving Algerian clubs participating in African competitions have been slated to commence on March 25th. Key among these rescheduled games are the clashes between CR Belouizdad and MC Alger, as well as USM Alger versus JS Kabylie, all part of catching up on the 16th round of league fixtures.
The schedule continues with Round 17 matches on Monday, March 30th, followed by Round 18 on Friday, April 24th. The remaining outstanding games from Round 19 are scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th, and Wednesday, April 29th.
