With three rounds remaining in the 2026 Egyptian Premier League, the excitement and competitiveness have intensified after the results of the fourth round, which have reignited the race and ignited it in every sense of the word.
Zamalek drew 0-0 with Enppi at Cairo International Stadium, while Pyramids achieved a resounding victory over Al Ahly.
At first glance, it might seem that Al Ahly’s chances of retaining their title are over, but they still exist. Zamalek maintains its advantage despite the setback, and Pyramids is practically their closest rival.
Zamalek has 50 points in first place, Pyramids is second with 47 points, while Al Ahly remains in third place with 44 points, and Ceramica Cleopatra is fourth with 43 points.
What does Zamalek need to secure the 2026 Egyptian Premier League title?
Zamalek can clinch the 2026 Egyptian Premier League title if they win two of their remaining three matches this season.
If Zamalek defeats Al Ahly next Friday, and Pyramids loses to Enppi, the White Knights could officially secure the title with two rounds to spare.
It’s worth noting that in case of a tie on points, head-to-head results are used to determine the champion. Zamalek currently holds the advantage over Pyramids, having won both matches 1-0.

What are Pyramids’ chances of winning the 2026 Egyptian Premier League?
Pyramids needs to win all of their remaining matches and hope that Zamalek either draws or loses at least two of theirs.
Pyramids FC has three seemingly manageable matches against Enppi, Ceramica Cleopatra, and Smouha, but they must first hope for a valuable favor from Zamalek’s rivals.
What are Al Ahly’s chances of winning the 2026 Egyptian Premier League?
The reality is that Al Ahly’s chances of retaining the Egyptian Premier League title appear more complicated, but still possible, and the starting point will be the Cairo Derby.
Yes Torup’s team must defeat Zamalek, which would reduce the gap to three points. They would then need to win their remaining two matches and hope for Zamalek to slip up at least once (head-to-head results favor Al Ahly).
However, in this scenario, Al Ahly isn’t just waiting for Zamalek to lose; they also need Pyramids to lose two matches simultaneously. This means that for Al Ahly to win the league, they need to win all three of their remaining matches, and for both Zamalek and Pyramids to drop points in two out of their three remaining games – a seemingly unlikely scenario.
Al Ahly, Zamalek, and Pyramids’ remaining matches in the 2026 Egyptian Premier League:
Zamalek: Al Ahly, Smouha, Ceramica Cleopatra
Pyramids: Enppi, Ceramica Cleopatra, Smouha
Al Ahly: Zamalek, Enppi, Al Masry
