The 2009-2010 Nigeria Premier League was the 39th season of the competition since its inception. Starting on 20 September 2009, it ran to July 7th due to breaks for both the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 FIFA World Cup and a total of 378 of a possible 380 games played [2]. It ran without a sponsor since January due to the pulling out of sponsor Globacom.
