Betway Premiership opening weekend: Every fixture, kick-off time

Posted on August 6, 2025
36

The wait is almost over for the start of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, the 30th PSL season since the advent of the professional era in 1996/97.

A full round of eight fixtures will be contested between Saturday, 9 August and Sunday, 10 August.

There are six matches scheduled for Saturday and a further two on Sunday.

As a reminder, Mamelodi Sundowns head into the season as defending champions and are searching for a record-extending ninth-consecutive title.

Few would bet against them doing so!

New faces

New teams to look out for are Durban City and Orbit College who were promoted to the top-flight.

There will of course be no Royal AM this season nor Cape Town City FC who were relegated.

Also, SuperSport United were sold and bought by Calvin Lee John, the son of Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, for a reported R50 million.

The team will now be known as Siwelele FC.
