2025/26 FINAL WEEKEND AND ROUND 3 POLICY FOR 2026/27 CONFIRMED

The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has today confirmed details for the final weekend of the 2025/26 William Hill Premiership season.

Top-six matches will take place on Saturday May 16, kick-off 12.30pm, while bottom-six games will be played on Sunday May 17, kick-off TBC.

The other post-split dates are the weekends of April 25/26, May 2/3 and May 9/10 and the midweek of May 12/13. Post-split fixtures and broadcast selections will be published as soon as possible following fixture round 33 on the weekend of April 11/12.

Meanwhile, SPFL clubs involved in the play-off round of a UEFA competition next season will again be able to postpone their William Hill Premiership round three fixture without needing the agreement of their opponents.

There was unanimous support for the continuation of this policy from the Competitions Working Group, but clubs will be required to confirm their position by Friday July 24 to provide clarity ahead of the 2026/27 season kicking off on the weekend of August 1/2.

SPFL Chief Operating Officer Calum Beattie said: “We are pleased to be able to publish arrangements for the final weekend of the William Hill Premiership season. It promises to be an incredibly exciting run-in and we look forward to watching it all unfold.

“We can also announce a continuation of the round three postponement policy that came into effect this season. This has been welcomed by clubs and, although the fixture calendar remains extremely congested, we want to give our European participants the best possible chance of reaching the league phase of UEFA competitions.”
