The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has decided to postpone the upcoming rounds of the Bangladesh Football League and the Federation Cup following requests from participating clubs. The tenth round of the league was originally scheduled to begin on February 6, 2026, but clubs, including Mohammedan SC, expressed reluctance to play close to the national election period and formally requested a schedule change. Other clubs also supported the postponement verbally.
According to the report, the clubs have proposed resuming the second phase of the league on February 20, 2026, if conditions permit after the election. Teams have agreed to complete the season within the previously planned timeframe. The national football team is scheduled to play on March 31 and will travel to Singapore for the Asian Cup qualifiers, so league matches are expected to continue until at least six days before the national team camp begins.
Despite the suspension, clubs are using the break to strengthen their squads. Fortis FC has already added foreign players, and both Bashundhara Kings and Fortis FC currently share the top position with 18 points each after the first phase ended on January 4.
