Czech Chance Liga season developments and player transfers

Overview

The 2026–27 Chance Liga season has progressed into its third round following a reshaped lineup after MFK Karviná’s expulsion. Early season activity included Liberec defeating Viktoria Plzeň and Zbrojovka Brno upsetting Sparta Prague.

As the league moves forward, clubs are adjusting their squads. Sparta Prague is expected to feature new centre-back Tobias Guddal and striker Matyáš Vojta, while striker Jan Kuchta is set to depart for Legia Warsaw. Slavia Prague is likely to reinstate captain Lukáš Provod amid rumors of scouting Sparta players. Viktoria Plzeň continues to highlight the financial backing of new majority shareholder Michal Strnad, a defense-industry billionaire, to support title ambitions. In other fixtures, FC Opava is preparing to host newly promoted SK Kladno, with Peter Juritka a possible debutant.

Recent match results have brought challenges for several prominent clubs. Sparta Prague suffered a 0-2 defeat against Mladá Boleslav, a performance defender Jaroslav Zelený described as “impotent” due to a lack of offensive production, noting the squad failed to register a single shot during the first half. Similarly, Zlín fell 0-2 to Bohemians 1905; following three consecutive losses, coach Bronislav Červenka has called for improved mental resilience and maximum effort to avoid a downward spiral ahead of their upcoming match against Plzeň.

Significant roster changes are also unfolding. Slavia Prague is seeing departures as Senegalese defender Youssoupha Mbodji prepares for a one-year loan to Waregem, and Liberian midfielder Oscar is expected to transfer to Al Taawon in Saudi Arabia. Sparta Prague has seen captain Lukáš Haraslín officially transfer to Al-Fateh SC, while Veljko Birmančevič is linked with Vojvodina Novi Sad. Sparta is also negotiating a potential loan for winger Matěj Jurásek from Norwich.

On the regional level, cup action continues in the Znojmo and Blansko districts, featuring teams such as Sokol Tasovice, FK Hodonín, and FK Blansko.
