Kampala — Four clubs have secured promotion to the 2026/27 StarTimes Uganda Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 FUFA Big League season.

The promoted clubs are Blacks Power FC, Kigezi HomeBoyz FC, Ntugasaze FC, and Kataka FC, according to a promotion announcement released by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA).

The elevation to the Uganda Premier League comes after a competitive FUFA Big League campaign in which the four sides demonstrated consistency and strong performances to earn places among the country's elite clubs.

The development is expected to boost football development in their respective regions, while also increasing competition in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League as the newly promoted teams prepare to face established top-tier sides.
