ZED FC face Al Ahly in Egyptian Premier League second-round clash – kick-off time and TV channel

ZED FC will host Al Ahly in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League on Friday, 28 August 2026, with the Cairo International Stadium providing the venue for the meeting.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 local time and will be broadcast live on ON Sport 1.

Al Ahly began their pursuit of the Egyptian Premier League title with a 3-2 victory over ENPPI. The result gave them the three points from their opening fixture and provided an early boost as they started their league campaign.

ZED FC, meanwhile, collected one point from their first match after drawing with Wadi Degla. That opening result leaves them preparing for a difficult second-round assignment against an Al Ahly side that already has a win on the board.

There is therefore a clear difference between the two teams’ starts to the season. Al Ahly arrive having claimed maximum points from their opening game, while ZED FC are looking for their first victory after settling for a draw against Wadi Degla.

The fixture will be played at the Cairo International Stadium, with the 20:00 kick-off offering supporters a chance to follow the first meeting between the sides in the new league campaign. The game will be shown exclusively through ON Sport 1.

Previous meetings

The two clubs have faced each other six times in total.

Al Ahly have won five of those matches, while the remaining meeting ended in a draw. That gives Al Ahly a clear historical advantage ahead of the latest encounter.

The most recent meeting between the teams, however, did not produce a winner. It finished 1-1 during last season, meaning ZED FC avoided defeat in the previous fixture between the clubs.

Al Ahly will now aim to maintain their strong record against ZED FC while building on the opening-day victory over ENPPI. ZED FC, having taken a point from their game with Wadi Degla, will be seeking a result that improves their position and ends Al Ahly’s perfect start.

The second-round match will take place on Friday, 28 August 2026, at the Cairo International Stadium. Kick-off is at 20:00, and the game will be televised on ON Sport 1.
