The competition has intensified early in the 2026-2027 Egyptian Premier League, with the opening three rounds producing a clear sense of balance between several clubs, while eight teams have managed to maintain unbeaten records so far. ⚽🔥
As the league race continues, Pyramids have emerged as the biggest winners from the third round after securing an important victory over Al Masry, maintaining their perfect record and moving clear at the top of the standings, while Zamalek continue to chase them after defeating Petrojet.
The unbeaten teams currently include Al Ahly, Pyramids, Zamalek, Talaea El Gaish, Modern Future, Wadi Degla, Canal and El Gouna, highlighting the strength of the opening rounds and the close levels among several clubs.
Pyramids Take Top Spot
Pyramids secured one of the most important results of the third round after defeating Al Masry 1-0, in a match between two teams that had entered the fixture with six points from their first two games.
The Sky Blues moved to nine points, maintaining a perfect record after winning all three of their matches and becoming the outright leaders of the standings.
This strong start gives Pyramids an important advantage in the battle for the top, particularly because the team has shown an ability to win matches while maintaining its balance during the opening weeks.
Defeating a direct rival such as Al Masry also provides a significant psychological boost and confirms that Pyramids are determined from the beginning to establish themselves among the leading contenders for the title. 🏆
Zamalek Continue the Chase
Zamalek moved into second place temporarily after defeating Petrojet 2-1, taking their points tally to seven from their opening three matches.
The victory allowed the White Knights to remain unbeaten and continue chasing Pyramids, confirming that the battle at the top will be highly competitive.
The team began its campaign with a draw against Al Ittihad Alexandria before defeating National Bank of Egypt and then recording another victory over Petrojet, collecting seven points while remaining close to the leaders.
The coaching staff will now hope to continue collecting points in the coming rounds because dropping additional points could allow their rivals to increase the gap.
8 Clubs Remain Unbeaten
Away from the top two, six other teams continue their campaigns without defeat: Al Ahly, Talaea El Gaish, Modern Future, Wadi Degla, Canal and El Gouna.
The number demonstrates that the early-season competition remains wide open and that many teams have managed to avoid defeat despite differences in resources and ambitions.
