The Super League of Malawi (SULOM) has scheduled a two-week domestic break starting on September 21, 2026, according to Malawi24. The pause will commence following the Super League match between Mighty Wanderers and Blue Eagles on September 19.
SULOM instituted the break to align with the new FIFA international match calendar, which officially merges the traditional September and October periods into a single 16-day window running from September 21 to October 6, 2026. The scheduling allows national team players to fulfill their international commitments without missing club fixtures. During this window, the Flames will resume their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, playing against South Sudan and Angola in Group B.
