Malawi Premier League 2026

Overview

On 23 July 2026, Nyasa Big Bullets sat third in the FDH Bank Premiership with 20 points, trailing leaders Mighty Wanderers by one point. Head coach Wedson Nyirenda was named Coach of the Month for June after leading the team to a perfect two-match record. Ahead of their fixture against Dedza Dynamos, assistant coach Heston Munthali emphasized the need to improve attacking play.

On 25 July 2026, Dedza Dynamos secured a 1-0 upset victory over the Bullets at Dedza Stadium, courtesy of a 42nd-minute header from Marco Chiwaya. The defeat ended the Bullets' unbeaten streak and lifted Dedza out of the relegation zone.

Nyasa Big Bullets returned to winning ways on 9 August 2026, defeating Chitipa United 2-0 at Mpira Stadium in Blantyre through a Blessings Mpokera penalty and a goal from Clever Kalambo.

However, the title race tightened on 23 August 2026 following a 0-0 draw between Nyasa Big Bullets and Luanar Mitundu FC at Dedza Stadium. This marked the team’s second consecutive week without scoring. Simultaneously, Silver Strikers drew 0-0 against Goshen City Dedza Dynamos, leaving Mighty Wanderers and Silver Strikers level on 29 points, separated only by goal aggregate.

To address attacking depth, the club signed Zimbabwean striker Tinaye Tsimba and Liberian attacking midfielder Sheku Sheriff to two-year contracts on 27 August 2026. Coach Nyirenda noted that Tsimba provides “physical strength, speed, and finishing ability,” while Sheriff offers “vision for decisive passing, and his leadership qualities.”

On 5 September 2026, the Bullets concluded the first round of the Premiership with a dominant 5-0 victory over Silver Strikers. Ephraim Kondowe scored a hat-trick, with additional goals from Wongani Lungu and Misheck Biliati. Silver Strikers coach Peter Mganga described the defeat as “very frustrating.”
