The 2025–26 Egyptian Premier League season ended in late May 2026 with four teams relegated—Ismaily, Pharco, Haras El Hodoud, and Kahrabaa Ismailia—after a relegation group phase and play-offs determined the final positions. Ismaily’s drop marked its first since 1957–58, driven by ongoing financial difficulties, transfer bans, and reliance on youth players. The 2026–27 campaign, which began in August, features a 20-team field including promoted clubs and survivors like Wadi Degla and ZED FC. Early table trends show traditional powers Pyramids, Al Ahly, and Zamalek pulling clear at the top while sides such as Smouha, Petrojet, and Ghazl El Mahalla occupy the lower reaches. Key variables for the bottom of the table include squad stability, financial resources, and results in the opening months.
