The Buganda Regional League (BRL) returns to the pitch today, Wednesday, March 11, 2026, with a slate of fixtures that could fundamentally shift the power dynamics at both ends of the table.
Following a dramatic Match Day 16 that saw leaders Simba FC stumble, the chasing pack is smelling blood in the water.
This Uganda’s 3rd tier league, has its action kicking off at 4:00 PM across the region.
Simba FC vs Manyangwa FC
Venue: Namulonge Gayaza
League leaders Simba FC are under immense pressure to rediscover their clinical edge. After a shocking 3-1 defeat to Uganda Sports Arena FC last weekend, their lead at the summit has been slashed to just one point. They face a Manyangwa FC side that has struggled for goals recently but proved in the first half of the season that they can be a stubborn nut to crack. For Simba, anything less than three points at Namulonge could see them knocked off their perch for the first time in weeks.
Buwambo United’s golden opportunity is at the Buwambo Ground where they face Sweta Utd. Coming off a professional 1-0 victory over Buikwe Redstars, they sit just a breath away from the top spot. Today, they host Seeta United FC, who are riding high after a 2-1 win against Nyendo. If Buwambo secures a win and Simba slips up again, we will have a new leader by sunset.
There will be a Masaka in Nyando when Masaka City SC takes on Nyendo FC.
Masaka City SC currently holds the bragging rights in the standings, sitting in 4th place, but Nyendo FC is always a dangerous opponent in local derbies.
With Masaka City coming off a stalemate against Synergy, they need a win to keep their mathematical title hopes alive.
Expect a high-octane, physical encounter in front of a passionate Masaka crowd.
At the other end of the spectrum, Buikwe Red Stars FC faces Kiboga United SC. Both teams are currently mired in the relegation zone and desperate to erase the deficit caused by earlier point deductions.
This is a classic “six-pointer”—a win for either side could be the spark needed for a late-season great escape.
