Pirates’ game against City will kick off at 3pm and will be followed by the match between Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium (kick off 6pm)

The following day, Stellenbosch will host AmaZulu at the Cape Town Stadium at 3pm, and Mamelodi Sundowns will welcome Richards Bay to the Lucas Moripe Stadium at 6pm.

For the second season in a row, the MTN8 will not feature Kaizer Chiefs after Amakhosi finished outside the top eight in the 2024/25 Betway Premiership campaign.
