The Kinshasa Provincial Football Association (EPFKIN) held the group draw for its 2026–2027 championship on October 19, 2026. Provincial executive secretary Jules Fila Kimfumu announced three divisions of 16, 16 and 14 clubs; their top teams will meet in a triangular tournament to decide the champion, while the bottom four in each division will be relegated. Delayed by administrative and logistical difficulties, the season is set to begin on November 2 and finish on May 31, 2027, provided the Martyrs Stadium, Tata Raphaël Stadium and the Aigles du Congo academy ground are available.
