Three Early Takeaways from the 2025/26 Scottish Futsal Super League (after Matchday 3)

We hit the first weekend without Super League of the season with three matchdays in the books and storylines forming across Scotland. Below are three early takeaways—based on results so far—not predictions carved in stone. Use this as your quick catch-up before the league resumes on Sunday 2 November.

1) PYF Saltires still setting the pace—but margins are tighter

3 wins from 3 puts PYF Saltires on top, continuing the momentum from last year. What’s different is how competitive the league feels already: PYF have had to manage tense moments and close spells to get over the line. That’s healthy for the competition and a timely reminder that consistency—game management, rotations, and set-plays—will matter even more as the calendar gets busy.

2) Aberdeen & Joga look built to contend

• Aberdeen Futsal Academy have shown serious attacking output in two big wins and remain within striking distance. Their directness and finishing depth stand out. The one defeat (a narrow one to Joga) looked like a high-level chess match more than a setback.

  
  

• Joga are unbeaten and play with control and clarity. The Cup holders haven’t needed to be perfect to win; that’s usually a contender’s trait. With more minutes into the squad, their ceiling should rise.

  
  

Bottom line: both Aberdeen and Joga have the tools—goals, structure, and special-teams—to keep real pressure on PYF across the winter.

3) Dalkeith’s step up is real—growth mindset needed

Dalkeith Thistle are making their Super League debut and have faced three of the league’s most settled groups. Results haven’t gone their way yet, but first seasons are about learning speed, defensive spacing at futsal tempo, and set-piece habits under pressure. There’s talent and work-rate in the group; turning small improvements (rest-defence positions, subs timings) into points is the aim for the next block of games.

Golden Boot watch

Early leadership in the scoring charts reflects the front-runners’ fast starts. Expect movement once fixtures tighten and more clubs settle into rotations.

What’s Next?

After an exciting opening stretch, all eyes now turn to Matchday 4, set for Saturday, 26th October.

• Futsal Escocia vs FC33 – 18:10; Escocia will look to build momentum and climb further up the table, while FC33 aim to grab their first statement result of the campaign.

• PYF Saltires vs Aberdeen – 17:10; A true top-of-the-table clash between two powerhouses. PYF want to keep their perfect run alive, but Aberdeen’s attacking firepower makes this a must-watch.

• Joga vs Edinburgh University – 18:10; The Cup winners finally meet the improving Uni side — an intriguing battle between experience and youthful energy.

  
  

With the table starting to take shape, every goal and every point will matter. Don’t miss the action!
