, elevated league visibility and a total of twenty million Kenyan Shillings (20M KES) worth of prize money to be shared among the top 3 clubs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Commenting at the conclusion of Matchweek 1 of the new season of top-flight football across the country, SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri said:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cThe return of the SportPesa League gives clubs, players and supporters the opportunity to focus once again on what matters most: exciting and competitive football. Through our 10-year partnership with FKF, we are helping bring greater stability to the domestic game and supporting the structures that enable clubs and players to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the delayed start, getting the season underway is particularly important. Every matchday creates opportunities for emerging talent to gain experience, showcase their abilities and take the next step in their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cThe league\u2019s return is about more than the fixtures themselves. It gives clubs greater certainty, strengthens the player pathway and creates the conditions for long-term growth. Our focus remains unchanged: supporting Kenyan football and helping it reach its full potential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
SportPesa\u2019s support for Kenyan football extends beyond the league title partnership, further demonstrated by the direct Main Club Partner agreements with clubs including 2025\/26 champions Gor Mahia, Murang\u2019a SEAL and Shabana. Through the league\u2019s financial distribution, SportPesa supports the development of all top-flight clubs, enabling them to invest in their playing squads, technical benches and club operations as stakeholders work towards a sustainable future.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nairobi, 17 October 2026 \u2013 SportPesa has welcomed the start of the new SportPesa League season, which kicked off on Saturday 10 October 2026.\u00a0… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6771"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6773,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6771\/revisions\/6773"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
