Zanzibar Premier League Table

The race for the title and continental places remains fiercely competitive.

Simba are breathing down their necks in second place, just 2 points behind with 52 points and a game in hand, having lost only once all season. Azam FC occupy third on 46 points, remaining unbeaten in regulation but hindered by 10 draws.

Favorites & Title Chances

With only a handful of matchdays remaining, the title race is a two-horse battle. Young Africans SC Tanzania have a 55% chance of retaining the trophy. Their slender 2-point lead, combined with a massive goal difference advantage (+44), essentially acts as an extra point. Their attack and defense are statistically the best in the league. Simba hold a 40% probability of clinching the title. They have a game in hand which, if won, would put them top by a single point. Their defensive record is nearly identical to the leaders, but they need to overcome the psychological hurdle of leapfrogging their fierce rivals on the final stretch. Azam FC retain a 5% chance. While undefeated, their 10 draws have left them 8 points adrift of the top, requiring an unlikely collapse from both teams above them.

Season Stats

The 2025/26 season has been a spectacle of attacking football and defensive solidity at the top. The average goals per game across the 148 finished fixtures stand at 2.32. Young Africans SC Tanzania have been the statistical powerhouse, netting 52 times and conceding just 8 goals, earning them the title of the most successful team statistically. The last season winner was also Young Africans SC Tanzania, proving their domestic dominance. The total number of teams competing in this season's Premier League is 23.
