Several sides will put their 100 percent winning starts to the new football season on the line this weekend.
Leaders and defending Canada Life Premier League champions Peel plus Corinthians and St John's will all be aiming to extend their perfect records in the top flight on Saturday, as will Castletown in Ardern and Druggan Division Two.
The leagues are beginning to take shape after the opening couple of weeks of the 2026-27 campaign and already it's hard to look past it being another title battle between Peel and Corinthians in the Premier League, but there are a few sides who will be out to upset the higher order.
Best primed at the moment are St John's and Union Mills who have both won their opening two games of the season.
While the Millers have a free week this Saturday, the Saints will host a Braddan side at Mullen-e-Cloie still searching for their first win of the fledgling campaign.
There is a caveat to that though: the Swans have faced a tough set of opening fixtures, taking on St Mary's, Laxey and Onchan in the first three games – all of which have been close contests.
Leaders Peel also face a potentially tricky trip this weekend as they make the journey to the Nivison Stadium to face an Onchan team looking to build on a memorable campaign last season.
Elsewhere in the top flight, second-placed Corinthians travel up the east coast to take on Laxey at Glen Road, while Ramsey host newly-promoted Colby at Ballacloan Stadium.
The early kick-off sees St Mary's host the other promoted side, RYCOB, at the Bowl, with the match at the national stadium getting underway at 1.45pm.
DIVISION TWO
In Ardern and Druggan Division Two, leaders Castletown have won three out of three and will put that perfect record on the line when they make the trip to Springfield Road to take on Pulrose United.
Malew have also started the season well and will fancy their chances of picking up another win when they visit Marown at the Memorial Playing Fields, while Foxdale will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins at home to Douglas Royal at Billy Goat Park.
The other games in the second tier see Michael United host Douglas and District, while DHSOB entertain near-neighbours St George's at Blackberry Lane.
