Early kick-off: Premier League action could return in September PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

The 2023-2024 Botswana Premier League (BPL) season could see the earliest start in recent times as league authorities target a September kick-off.

Traditionally, the local season should run between August and May calendar, but in recent times there have been delayed starts. The 2019-2020 was the last campaign to start in August but was disrupted by the outbreak of COVID-19. As a result of the outbreak, the BPL has struggled to recover as the 2020-2021 season was cancelled.
