The league was temporarily halted owing to the mourning period occasioned by the demise of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who died on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, forcing the league organisers to postpone league matches.
On Friday, October 24, 2025, Bidco United and Mara Sugar played to a barren draw at the Awendo Green Stadium amid heavy rainfall. More matches will be on the cards on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26, 2025.
