The Lion City Sailors Women’s Team will begin their push to return to the summit of domestic women’s football on Sunday, 25 January, when they face Balestier Khalsa at Bukit Gombak Stadium.
Fixtures for the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) were officially released by the Football Association of Singapore on Tuesday (13 January). The new campaign will start earlier than in previous years and run through to 28 June, aligning strategically with key international commitments for the Singapore women’s national teams, including the AFF Women’s Cup 2026 in July.
Following their opening game against Balestier, Daniel Ong’s charges will take on Still Aerion on Saturday, 31 January at Choa Chu Kang Stadium, before a run of three further fixtures in February.
After lifting three consecutive WPL titles between 2022 and 2024, the Sailors endured a frustrating 2025 campaign, finishing third behind eventual champions Albirex Niigata (S) — now rebranded as Albirex Jurong — and Still Aerion.
The Sailors will then take on Albirex on Friday, 13 March at Choa Chu Kang, before facing them again on Friday, 12 June at the same venue, with the two fixtures potentially proving pivotal in shaping the title race.
With the league retaining its 16-match double round-robin format with matches to take place at either Choa Chu Kang Stadium or Bukit Gombak Stadium, the Sailors will wrap up their season against Hougang United in late June, with the exact date and venue to be confirmed.
