Chinese Super League Biglietti

The 2026 season across China

The Chinese Super League enters the closing stretch of its 2026 season with Shanghai Port and Beijing Guoan among the clubs with the biggest followings in the division, while Shanghai Shenhua give the country's largest city a third major club. Sixteen teams make up the league this season, spread across a wide geography that runs from Beijing and Tianjin in the north to Shenzhen in the south, with clubs such as Wuhan Three Towns and Chengdu Rongcheng representing the country's fast-growing central and western regions.

Fixtures coming up

October brings a full round of Chinese Super League fixtures across the country.

• Fri 9 Oct: Shenzhen Xinpengcheng host Henan at Shenzhen Stadium
• Sat 10 Oct: Qingdao Hainiu welcome Beijing Guoan to Qingdao Youth Football Stadium
• Sat 10 Oct: Shanghai Shenhua face Yunnan Yukun at Shanghai Stadium
• Sun 11 Oct: Chongqing Tonglianglong host Shandong Taishan at Chongqing Longxing Football Stadium

With matches taking place from Shenzhen in the south to Chongqing inland, the division's geography means fixture scheduling often groups games by region across the same weekend.

Stadiums to know

The Chinese Super League's grounds reflect the scale of investment in the domestic game over the past decade. Workers' Stadium in Beijing is one of the country's most recognisable venues and hosts Beijing Guoan's home matches, while SAIC Motor Pudong Arena serves Shanghai Port in China's largest city. TEDA Football Stadium in Tianjin and Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Sports Park are both purpose-built modern venues that have hosted top-flight football through the league's recent growth.

Comparing prices for matches

Ticket availability and pricing for Chinese Super League matches can vary widely depending on the club and how far a visiting fan needs to travel across the country. This page compares Chinese Super League tickets across StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365, so supporters can see the range of prices on offer for a given fixture before booking. Matches involving Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Port or Shanghai Shenhua tend to draw the largest crowds and the widest range of ticket categories.

The wider division

Beyond the clubs in China's biggest cities, the Chinese Super League includes established sides such as Shandong Taishan, one of the most decorated clubs in Chinese football history, alongside newer or relocated clubs including Chengdu Rongcheng, Wuhan Three Towns and Zhejiang Professional FC. This spread of clubs across sixteen teams and a large geographic footprint means the division covers a genuinely national picture of the sport, with fixtures running from the coast to inland cities such as Chongqing and Yunnan through October. Chongqing Tonglianglong and Dalian Yingbo represent two of the more recently established top-flight clubs, and their results through this run of fixtures will go some way to deciding which side avoids the drop come the end of the season.
