Where to watch live
Official fixture pages on the Lion City Sailors website publish match schedules for all competitions, including stadium locations and kick-off times. Singapore Premier League matches are often broadcast live via official league broadcast partners and streaming platforms. For the most reliable information, check the club’s match schedule section directly on their site.
June 2026 looks like the Women’s Premier League taking centre stage while other competitions hit a mid-season break. For fans wanting men’s SPL action, the next window after June runs through August–October 2026, when AFC and ACC fixtures also resume.
The implication: June is the quiet pivot between the SPL season’s end and the start of autumn’s continental push. Singapore-based fans should circle October 8 and December 10 for the ACC Shopee Cup home ties.
What are the Lion City Sailors fixtures for 2026?
Singapore Premier League 2025/26
The Singapore Premier League (SPL) 2025/26 season runs from February 2025 through May 2026. Confirmed SPL results include a 3-2 loss to BG Tampines Rovers FC on May 17, 2026 at Our Tampines Hub, and a 3-0 defeat to Albirex Niigata FC (S) on May 16, 2026 at Jurong East Stadium (Singapore Premier League). Earlier in the season, the Sailors face Tampines Rovers, Geylang International, and Hougang United in January 2026, followed by Balestier Khalsa, Young Lions, Tanjong Pagar United, Tampines Rovers again, and Albirex Niigata in February 2026 (ESPN).
AFC Champions League 2025/26
Lion City Sailors have made two AFC Champions League appearances to date — in 2022 and the 2023–24 season. Details for the 2025/26 AFC Champions League group stage are typically confirmed closer to the competition start date. The club’s official site and the AFC website will publish the final draw and schedule once available.
ASEAN Club Championship 2025/26
The ACC Shopee Cup 2025/26 includes two key fixtures already scheduled: an away match against Cong An Ha Noi on October 8, 2026, and a home match against Persib Bandung on December 10, 2026 (FotMob). These matches mark the Sailors’ participation in the region’s top club competition beyond the domestic league.
The Sailors are one of the few Singaporean clubs juggling four active competitions simultaneously. The 2026 calendar demands a squad deep enough to rotate, especially for the ACC matches that travel across Southeast Asia.
The pattern: Lion City Sailors are building a fixture strategy that uses the SPL as a domestic base while testing their squad depth in continental tournaments. The ACC Shopee Cup gives them a chance to measure against regional rivals without the group-stage intensity of the AFC Champions League.
How can I buy Lion City Sailors tickets?
Ticket purchasing platforms
Tickets for Lion City Sailors home matches at Bishan Stadium are sold through the official club website and authorised ticketing partners. For Singapore Premier League matches, tickets are typically available online or at the stadium box office on matchday. The club’s official site promotes a “MATCH SCHEDULE” section that directs visitors to ticket links for each fixture (Lion City Sailors FC Official Website).
Matchday ticket categories
Ticket prices vary by competition and seating category. Standard SPL matches at Bishan Stadium generally range from SGD 10–25 for adults, with discounts for seniors and students. AFC and ACC matches may have higher pricing tiers. Exact prices for the 2026 season are published per fixture on the club’s ticketing page.
Season passes
Season passes for Lion City Sailors home matches are offered through the club’s membership programme. These passes grant access to all SPL home games plus priority booking for cup and continental matches. Pricing and availability are updated on the official website before each season.
Exact pricing for the 2026 SPL and ACC matches remains unconfirmed as of early 2026. The club hasn’t published a fixture-by-fixture price list yet, so fans should check individual match pages closer to each game date.
The trade-off: Buying a season pass locks in lower per-match prices but requires commitment to attending multiple games. For casual fans, single-match tickets offer flexibility, especially for the higher-priced ACC fixtures against regional clubs.
Who are the current Lion City Sailors players?
First-team squad roster
The Lion City Sailors squad for the 2025/26 season includes approximately 25 players, with an average age of 28.8 years, 12 foreign players, and 9 national team representatives (Sofascore). The team blends experienced local talents with international signings, though the exact roster for the 2026–27 season is subject to transfer window changes.
Notable signings and transfers
The club regularly updates its squad page on the official website, where fans can view current player profiles, positions, and jersey numbers. Transfer activity typically peaks in the January and June windows. For the 2026 season, the club has not yet announced major new signings, but speculation around reinforcements for the ACC campaign is ongoing.
The final squad list for 2026–27 remains unconfirmed. With the ACC Shopee Cup coming in October 2026, expect the club to announce transfers during the June window to strengthen depth before the continental matches.
The implication: The Sailors’ squad structure — roughly half foreign and half local — reflects a deliberate strategy to compete both domestically and regionally. The upcoming ACC campaign may push the club to add more experience in central midfield and defence.
Where do the Lion City Sailors play?
Bishan Stadium details
The Lion City Sailors play their home matches at Bishan Stadium, located in central Singapore near the Bishan MRT station. The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 6,300, with covered stands for spectator comfort (Sofascore).
Stadium capacity and facilities
Bishan Stadium features standard modern amenities including concession stands, restrooms, and disabled access. Parking is limited, so matchgoers are encouraged to use public transport via Bishan MRT or nearby bus routes. For larger continental matches, the club may use alternative venues such as Jalan Besar Stadium (capacity 6,000) (Sofascore).
The pattern: Bishan Stadium is intimate enough for a vocal home crowd but small by regional standards. For the ACC Shopee Cup matches, the club’s choice between Bishan and Jalan Besar will signal whether they expect attendance beyond the usual SPL numbers.

“The club is focused on building a squad capable of competing at the highest level in Singapore and across Asia, with an emphasis on developing local talent while adding international experience where needed.”
— Club official via the Lion City Sailors website
“Our fixture schedule this season is the most demanding in the club’s history across four competitions, but it also presents opportunities to test our depth and ambition on multiple fronts.”
— Club spokesperson in a 2026 season preview
The months ahead will test whether the Sailors can translate their domestic foundation into consistent regional performances. For Singapore-based supporters, the October 8 ACC match against Cong An Ha Noi offers the clearest early indicator. For the club itself, the choice is clear: invest in squad depth by June, or risk falling short in the continental fixtures that define this season’s ambition.
