The Professional Football League (LFP) has officially unveiled the complete fixture list for the first leg of the 2025–2026 Ligue 1 Mobilis season, which is set to kick off on Thursday, 21 August, and conclude on Saturday, 16 May 2026.
According to the schedule, matches will be staged each week on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
The first leg of the campaign is set to wrap up on 29 November after 15 rounds of play, with the second leg beginning on 8 January following a short mid-season break.
Opening weekend promises fireworks, with two headline fixtures poised to ignite the start of the Algerian top-flight season.
Defending champions MC Alger will host CR Bélouizdad in an Algiers derby that is expected to draw significant attention.
The fixture features two of the league’s most decorated sides, with CRB having finished third last season and eager to reclaim dominance in the capital.
Elsewhere, a classic encounter awaits in Tizi Ouzou as last season’s runners-up JS Kabylie welcome USM Alger, who ended the previous campaign tied for seventh alongside USM Khenchela.
The match is anticipated to be a fierce contest between two proud clubs eager to begin their seasons on a high note.
JS Saoura, who secured a fourth-place finish last term, will begin their campaign at home against newly promoted MB Rouissat.
Meanwhile, Paradou AC and ES Sétif — both of whom shared fifth place last season — have drawn ASO Chlef (13th) and USM Khenchela, respectively, in their opening matches.
Further down the order, Olympique Akbou, who finished 11th, are scheduled to host ES Mostaganem, who placed 14th last term.
MC Oran (9th) will play host to another top-flight newcomer, ES Ben Aknoun, while MC El Bayadh (12th) is set to take on CS Constantine, who rounded out the previous season in 10th place.
The league’s new structure ensures a competitive balance, with clubs across the table eager to capitalise early and set the tone for the campaign.
With title hopefuls, mid-table battlers, and promoted teams all in action from the first whistle, the 2025–2026 Ligue 1 Mobilis season is shaping up to be a compelling journey from start to finish.
