The 16 teams are divided in groups of four apiece. They will initially play round robin. After the group stages the top two teams from each group will face off in knock outs.

The finals will be held on 10th November  2018 at the Mandela National Stadium, Namboole.

Uganda Martyrs University (UMU), Nkozi, with its coach, new Proline head coach Shafiq Bisaso won the championship last year after overcoming MUBS 2-0 in an entertaining finale.

The chairperson of this league, Vicent Kisenyi Kisenyi urged the fans to observe fair play by being disciplined with a proposal to increase the number of universities from 16 to 24.
