The start of the 2023–2024 Nigeria Professional Football League season has been delayed.

Earlier, the start of the new season was slated for August 26 on a Saturday.

According to OBASANJO NEWS24, the new start date has been set for September 8–10, 2023.

The requirement to set up the required logistics to guarantee a trouble-free competition led to the postponement.

In the meantime, Lagos will host the next season’s draw ceremony on Thursday.

Last season, Enyimba won the championship a record-breaking nine times.
