The 2026 Kenya Cup Women’s League roars into life this weekend, with Match Day One serving up an exciting slate of fixtures and a strong Thika Road flavour. Three of the four opening matches will be staged along the busy corridor on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
Defending champions Mwamba Women will begin their title defence at home, where they welcome Shamberere in what is expected to be a stern early test. Fresh from a dominant 2025 campaign, Mwamba will be keen to set the tone early and reaffirm their status as the team to beat. With a largely settled squad and strong home support, the champions start as favourites.
Impala Roans will host Rongo University in a fixture that pits experience against youthful exuberance. The Roans, perennial contenders in the competition, will be eager to start on a winning note, while Rongo University continue their push to establish themselves as a consistent top-flight side.
NYS Spades face off against Quins Queens. NYS will look to capitalise on home advantage. The only fixture away from the Thika Road stretch will take place at Northern Suburbs, where the hosts welcome Nakuru. Both sides will view this match as a key opportunity to pick up early points in what is expected to be a highly competitive league. Nakuru, in particular, will be keen to make a statement away from home as they seek consistency this season.
