South African Premiership Билеты

The 2026/27 season and its biggest clubs

The South African Premiership enters 2026/27 with Mamelodi Sundowns the club to beat after a run of domestic success, while Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs remain the two most widely supported clubs in South African football and contest the Soweto derby, one of the best-attended fixtures on the African continent. Sixteen clubs make up the division this season, spread across the country from Johannesburg and Durban to Cape Town and Polokwane.

Fixtures to plan around

The opening rounds of the season already bring some of the division's bigger clubs into action.

• Sat 19 Sept: Polokwane City FC host AmaZulu at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium
• Sun 20 Sept: Golden Arrows welcome Kaizer Chiefs
• Sun 20 Sept: Marumo Gallants face Orlando Pirates
• Sat 17 Oct: Chippa United host Kruger United

With Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates both away from home in the opening weeks, fans following either club will want to check away allocations and pricing ahead of the fixture being confirmed.

Grounds around the country

The South African Premiership's stadiums range from large national venues to smaller regional grounds. FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, with a capacity of 94,736, is the largest venue in the country and regularly hosts the biggest occasions in South African football, while Orlando Stadium in Soweto is Orlando Pirates' long-standing home. Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, which holds 40,929, has become a regular host for clubs from the eastern part of the country, and King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium and Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium both serve Durban's clubs.
