Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs: Date, kick-off time, how to watch

Posted on May 1, 2026

Mamelodi Sundowns host Kaizer Chiefs at Loftus Versfeld next week in what could prove to be a defining moment in the 2025/26 Betway Premiership title race.

Naturally, Orlando Pirates supporters will be watching just as closely.

MATCH DETAILS: MAMELODI SUNDOWNS VS KAIZER CHIEFS

Mamelodi Sundowns welcome Kaizer Chiefs to Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday, 6 May.

Kick-off is scheduled for 19:30.

The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport channel 202.

TITLE RACE REACHES BOILING POINT

The stakes could not be higher.

Mamelodi Sundowns currently lead the latest Betway Premiership standings with 61 points from 26 matches.

Orlando Pirates sit just two points behind on 59, with both sides having played the same number of games.

The title race is finely poised with just four matches – and a maximum of 12 points – remaining.

For Mamelodi Sundowns, the equation is simple: Win their remaining fixtures and the title is theirs.

However, the Buccaneers will be hoping for a slip-up from The Brazilians.

A draw or defeat for Masandawana against Amakhosi would reopen the race completely.

If that happens, Orlando Pirates must capitalise and deliver a perfect finish to their season.

ALL EYES ON LOFTUS

Kaizer Chiefs may be out of the Betway Premiership title race, but they hold significant influence over who lifts the trophy.

For Orlando Pirates supporters, this is more than just another match. It is a genuine opportunity for the title race to swing back into their favour.

Orlando Pirates fans will be passionately cheering on Kaizer Chiefs as if it is their own side when Amakhosi travel to Pretoria to face Mamelodi Sundowns for this decisive mid-week PSL encounter.

Will Kaizer Chiefs end up helping rivals Orlando Pirates against Mamelodi Sundowns?
