Epfkin 2026-2027: “We will start the championship on November 2, 2025, until May 31, 2027” (Jules Fila)

The EPFKIN committee held the draw for its 2026-2027 championship on October 19, 2026, after restructuring the competition into three groups of 16, 16 and 14 clubs following the arrival of six teams relegated from Linafoot. The winners of each group will compete in a triangular tournament to determine the champions, while the bottom four in each group will be relegated. Provincial executive secretary Jules Fila Kimfumu set the start date for November 2 and the end of the competition for May 31, 2027, provided three grounds are available. The championship, originally scheduled to begin on September 15, was delayed by administrative and logistical constraints.
