The competition will be held on a 'home and away' basis. This means that the matches of the competition will no longer be held only outside Kathmandu, but will be held in multiple venues.

Less than two days after the National Sports Council lifted the suspension of the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), it has been announced to break a 'deadlock' in Nepali football. Perhaps this could also be a lifeline for Nepali football, but it has been presented in a very ambitious manner.
Nepal Sports and Events Management, the sole organizer of the first three editions, has announced that the fourth edition of the Nepal Super League (NSL) will start from Sunday, Bhadra 20. While it is not yet decided when and how the Martyrs' Memorial League 'A' Division will be held, the date of the new edition of the franchise league has been announced.
Only this date of the competition has been announced, but the organizers have put forward three new plans. The first of them is that from now on, the competition will be on a round-robin basis, meaning that the participating teams will play each other twice in the league stage. Therefore, the competition will be held for a long time, probably three to four months.
The second announcement is that the competition will be held on a ‘home and away’ basis. That means that the matches of the competition will no longer be held only outside Kathmandu, but will be held in many grounds. And the third announcement is that the number of participating teams will be increased to 10 to 12. In that case, three to five new teams will now be announced. The owners of new franchise teams will be seen in Nepali football.
‘Our aim is to organize a long-lasting league,’ said Shreyans Karki, executive director of organizer Sports From now on, the Nepal Super League itself will be the organizer. Accordingly, Nepal Sports and Events Management will have a 50 percent share as the organizer, while the remaining share will be held by the participating teams. Thus, the organizing structure of the competition has also changed.
With the announcement of the new date of the competition, a new debate will also start. After the announcement of the NSL, the question will be how ANFA will arrange when and how the Martyrs' Memorial League 'A' Division will be held. Similarly, what will be the impact of this on the competitions in the Mofusals will also have to be considered. Not only that, since the Men's SAFF Championship will also be held at the same time as the competition, what will be done at that time will also be an equally important question. Supporting The announcement meeting of the competition was not limited to just providing information about it. Minister for Education and Sports Sasmit Pokharel spoke for the first time at a formal program of Nepali sports and said that the government will stay away from sports, not only Nepali football. He said, "We do not want politics in sports, but our support for the development of Nepali sports will continue."
He expressed confidence that just as the Nepal Premier League (NPL) took Nepali cricket to another level, the NSL will help Nepali football reach the same destination. After the council's suspension was lifted, ANFA President Pankaj Bikram Nembang spoke publicly for the first time and said that he would work sincerely for the development and expansion of Nepali football. Along with President Nembang, Council Member Secretary Ramcharitra Mehta was also present at the event.
