    VBET Malta Premier League: Fixtures and Tickets, 9-14 October

    The VBET Malta Premier League returns after the international break with a packed round of fixtures from Friday 9 to Wednesday 14 October 2026: including a top-four clash between Birkirkara and Valletta at Ta’ Qali.

    Fixtures and kick-off times

    Gżira United v Mosta is the rescheduled match-day-six game, postponed earlier because of bad weather, which is why both clubs have a game in hand.

    The table so far

    After six rounds of the Opening Round, Floriana and Valletta are level at the top on 13 points, with Marsaxlokk third on 11. Birkirkara, Ħamrun Spartans, Mosta and Sliema Wanderers are tightly packed on 10, and Balzan sit on 9. At the other end, Żabbar St Patrick and Hibernians have 5, Gżira United 1 and Birżebbuġa St Peter’s are still looking for their first point.

    How the season works

    Twelve teams play a single round-robin Opening Round, then split into a Top 6 and Bottom 6. Points reset for the Closing Round, which repeats the process. If one club wins both rounds they are champions outright; otherwise the title is decided in a Finalissima or Final Four. Floriana are the reigning champions, having beaten Marsaxlokk 2-1 in last season’s Final Four final.

    BLAST Slam VIII: Dota 2’s Best Battle for $750,000 in Malta

    World-class Dota 2 is coming back to Malta. BLAST Slam VIII brings its LAN finals to BLAST Arena Studios Malta from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 October 2026, with the best teams in the world playing in front of a live studio audience for a $750,000 prize pool.

    Sixteen teams, six finalists

    This is the biggest BLAST Slam yet, and the first with more than 12 teams. Twelve were invited: PARIVISION, Team Spirit, Team Yandex, Team Liquid, Aurora, BetBoom, 1w Team, LGD, Xtreme Gaming, OG, GamerLegion and MOUZ. Four more came through regional qualifiers: NAVI and Level UP from Europe, Yakult Brothers from China and Team Nemesis from Southeast Asia.

  • Birkirkara v Valletta: Premier League Clash at the National Stadium

    Birkirkara v Valletta: Premier League Clash at the National Stadium

    The VBET Malta Premier League returns from the international break with a heavyweight fixture: Birkirkara FC v Valletta FC at the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali on Saturday 10 October 2026, kick-off 15:30.

    Two clubs with serious pedigree

    Valletta are among the most successful clubs in Maltese football, with 25 league titles: the most recent in 2018-19. They arrive with silverware already in the cabinet this season, having beaten Floriana 2-0 on 7 September to lift the BOV Super Cup for the 14th time, after winning the FA Trophy last season.

    Birkirkara, “The Stripes”, are four-time champions (2000, 2006, 2010 and 2013) and six-time FA Trophy winners, most recently in 2022-23. They play their home games at Ta’ Qali and are coached by Paul Zammit, appointed in January 2026.

    Form going into the game

    After six rounds, Valletta sit second on 13 points and Birkirkara fourth on 10, so there’s plenty riding on this one near the top of the table. Birkirkara’s season has been mixed, with wins over Gżira United and Ħamrun Spartans and defeats to Mosta and Sliema, but they returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Żabbar St Patrick. When the sides met last season, Valletta won 2-0.

  • Malta v Gibraltar and Malta v Andorra: Nations League Double-Header at Ta’ Qali

    Malta v Gibraltar and Malta v Andorra: Nations League Double-Header at Ta’ Qali

    Malta’s national team is back at the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali for two UEFA Nations League home games in the space of four days. After opening the campaign with a 2-1 comeback win away to Andorra on 24 September (Teddy Teuma scored the late winner), Emilio De Leo’s side sit top of Group D1 and head home with real momentum.

    The fixtures

    • Malta v Gibraltar: Thursday 1 October 2026, kick-off 20:45, Ta’ Qali National Stadium
    • Malta v Andorra: Sunday 4 October 2026, kick-off 18:00, Ta’ Qali National Stadium

    Why these two games matter

    Group D1 is a tight three-team group. Gibraltar and Andorra drew 0-0 on 27 September, which means Malta, with three points from their opening game, are the only side with a win so far. Two home results this week would leave Malta in a commanding position before the final group game away to Gibraltar on 16 November.

    Recent history also favours the home side against Andorra: Malta had gone four Nations League meetings unbeaten against them even before September’s win. Games at this level are usually decided by small margins, though, and a full, loud Ta’ Qali can make the difference.

    Who to watch

    Expect familiar faces in red: the experienced Zach Muscat at the back, Henry Bonello in goal, Matthew Guillaumier in midfield and Teddy Teuma, fresh from his winner in Andorra, pulling the strings in attack.

    Tickets and prices

    Tickets for both matches are on sale now through Eventworks, with seats in the West Stand (West A and West C) and the Millennium Stand.

    • Millennium Stand: €12 for adults, €8 for children, seniors and concessions.
    • West Stand (West A and West C): €20 for adults, €12 for children, seniors and concessions.
    • For the Gibraltar game there’s also a €30 family pack in the Millennium Stand, a good-value option for a night out with the kids.
    • No booking fee is added, so the price you see is the price you pay.

    Buying in advance saves queuing at the turnstiles, and your tickets arrive on your phone straight away.

    Getting to Ta’ Qali

    The National Stadium sits in the heart of Malta at Ta’ Qali, a short drive from Attard, Mosta and Rabat. Parking around the stadium fills up on match nights, so leave a little earlier than you think you need to, or consider car-sharing or the bus.
