Schedule Changes for Iran's Premier League Clubs Competing in Asia

Match schedules for several Persian Gulf Pro League clubs in the 2026-27 season have been changed to support Iranian club football in the AFC Champions League Elite and AFC Champions League Two.

The timing of a number of Premier League matches of the country's clubs in the 1406-1405 season was changed due to the support of Iranian club football in the competitions of the Elite League and the Asian Champions League.

According to Ambassador Arjan and quoted from the public relations of the Iran Football League Organization, with the imposition of cruel sanctions against the aviation industry of our country, the trips of the Iranian representatives in the competitions of the Elite League and the Champions League of the second level of Asia have been faced with many difficulties, so that the round trip of the Gol Gohrsirjan and Tractor teams in these competitions took a lot of time and energy from the players and staff of these two teams, and actually holding the ninth week matches of these two teams according to the previous schedule faced difficulties.

In this way, despite the fact that the league organization had the possibility of holding the previously announced matches, but with a national approach and in order to help the representatives of our country in the Asian competitions, their strong presence in these matches and of course to observe competitive justice in the domestic league, it is inevitable to change the time of some Premier League matches as follows:

Bandar Anzali - Tractor Tabriz double team match is postponed from Saturday 25 October to Sunday 26 October at 17:00.

The match between Esteghlal and Gol Gharsirjan will be postponed from Sunday, October 26 to Monday, October 27 at 17:45.

The meeting between Tabriz Tractor and Sanat Naft Abadan teams will be postponed to Thursday 30 October instead of Wednesday 29 October.

The match between Chadormelo Ardakan and Esteghlal teams will be postponed to 16:45 on Friday, November 1st, instead of Thursday, October 30th.

Also, due to the holding of the eleventh week of the Premier League between the third and fourth weeks of the Asian leagues and the travel difficulties of our country's representatives due to the existing flight conditions, the matches of the eleventh week of the Iranian representatives in Asia will be canceled as follows and postponed to another date that will be announced later.

Obviously, the results of our country's representatives and their successful participation in the Asian competitions are influential in determining the number of Iranian football quotas in the competitions of the elite league and the second level of the Asian Champions League in the coming seasons.

In addition, the Iran Football League organization appreciates the opponents of the Premier League of our country's representatives in these three weeks, who agreed with the above changes from a national point of view.
