Egyptian football fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the second matchweek of the 2026-2027 Egyptian Premier League season, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday after the opening round concluded on Sunday evening. ⚽
The opening matchweek featured 10 games, with six ending in victories and four finishing as draws. A total of 18 goals were scored, averaging 1.8 goals per match.
🔥 Pyramids Lead the League Table
Pyramids moved to the top of the Egyptian Premier League table after the opening round, following a convincing 3-0 victory over Ghazl El Mahalla to collect their first three points of the campaign.
The team’s superior goal difference placed them at the top of the standings, providing a strong start to a season in which Pyramids are aiming to compete for the title.
The team will now look to maintain its position at the top during the second matchweek, with the positive start providing an important boost for the players and coaching staff.
🔴 Al Ahly Second After Beating ENPPI
Al Ahly sit second with three points after opening their league campaign with an exciting 3-2 victory over Eastern Company ENPPI at Cairo International Stadium.
The Red Giants secured all three points despite conceding twice, giving them a positive start to their title-defense campaign.
Al Ahly will now aim to record a second consecutive victory in the second matchweek in order to keep the pressure on the leaders and strengthen their position among the early contenders. 🏆
⚪ Zamalek Sit 14th
Defending champions Zamalek, meanwhile, occupy 14th place with one point after being held to a goalless draw by Al Ittihad Alexandria in the opening round.
The White Knights failed to score in the match and had to settle for one point, producing a start below the expectations of their supporters, who are hoping to see the team compete strongly for another league title.
Zamalek need a victory in the second matchweek against National Bank of Egypt to improve their position in the table, particularly with the title race already beginning to take shape.
📊 Top Positions After Matchweek One
The top positions in the Egyptian Premier League table after the opening round are:
- Pyramids – 3 points
- Al Ahly – 3 points
- El Qanah – 3 points
- Abu Qir Fertilizers – 3 points
Zamalek are currently 14th with one point.
Several teams have the same number of points, meaning goal difference has played an important role in determining the early positions at the top of the table. This makes every goal potentially significant from the opening stages of the competition.
🏆 Matchweek Two Set to Intensify the Race
The second matchweek will feature a new series of fixtures, with clubs looking to build on their opening results while teams that dropped points will seek immediate recovery.
Pyramids will aim to continue their positive results and remain at the top, while Al Ahly enter the second round looking for another victory and a continued place among the leading teams.
Zamalek, meanwhile, know that another setback could increase the gap to their rivals at an early stage. Their match against National Bank of Egypt therefore represents an important opportunity to restore balance and secure their first win of the season.
With the second matchweek approaching, the competition remains wide open, particularly because the points gap is still extremely small and a single result can significantly change the shape of the standings.
Egyptian football fans will be watching closely to see whether Pyramids can retain the top spot, whether Al Ahly can move into first place, and whether Zamalek can secure their first victory and quickly climb the table. ⚽🔥
