South African Premiership fixtures 2026-27

The PSL fixtures for this season's Betway Premiership cover 16 clubs, each playing 30 matches. The fixture list above can be sorted by round or by club, and every kick off appears in SAST, WAT, EAT and GMT, so a supporter in Lagos, Accra, Nairobi or Kampala sees the time on their own clock. Think of it as the bus timetable for the whole season, except that the stops run from Soweto to Durban, and the timetable updates itself whenever a match moves.

The Premiership is run by the Premier Soccer League, which has organised South Africa's top flight since 1996. The sponsor name has changed several times, from Castle Lager to ABSA, then DStv, then Betway from 2024, which is why PSL is the stable search term. Some readers in Nigeria and Kenya who search "epl premiership fixtures" may want the English Premier League instead, which is a separate competition with its own fixtures section on the site. Everything below concerns the South African league, its cups and its log.

How Do You Find Today's PSL Games and the Weekend Fixtures?

The top of the fixture module shows the Premiership fixtures today first, followed by the rest of the round. On a day with no league games, it says so plainly, so nobody is left refreshing an empty page. The table below converts sample SAST start times. That matters for East Africa, because an evening game in Johannesburg starts an hour later in Nairobi and Kampala. Supporters in Lagos and Accra get the opposite, with the same match arriving an hour or two earlier on their clocks.

How Do PSL League Fixtures Work, and Why Do Dates Change?

The PSL league fixtures form a double round robin, so every club meets every other club once at home and once away. Cup soccer threads through that schedule. The MTN8 opens the domestic cup calendar at the start of each season, and the Nedbank Cup, which also feeds a CAF place, follows later. Each cup round can move a league date, and international windows for Bafana Bafana and CAF club matches also push games back.

Where Can You Watch PSL Soccer Live in Your Country?

Each match in the fixture list carries a broadcast line for your country, and that line is the one to trust, because rights change from season to season. Check the broadcast line for your country before kick off rather than assume a channel. Together with the time converter, it tells you both when and where to tune in.

Kenyan and Ugandan fans watching an evening kick off will be up an hour later than supporters in Soweto. But Nigerian and Ghanaian fans are usually settled in front of the screen before the South Africans, and the time converter above saves the mental arithmetic.

What Do the Log, Three Points for a Win and Relegation Mean?

The PSL log ranks the 16 clubs by points, with three for a win, and you can follow it on the Premiership log. The champion and runner up enter the CAF Champions League, while third place and the Nedbank Cup winners enter the CAF Confederation Cup. The bottom club goes down automatically, and the club second from bottom faces a playoff against the second and third placed sides from the tier below. Mamelodi Sundowns won seven straight titles from 2017/18, and Orlando Pirates were champions in 2025/26. The Premiership stats module shows goals scored and conceded alongside points, so the log can be read in more detail.

How Do You Follow One Club and Spot Postponed Games?

The club filter turns the full list into a single season calendar, whether you follow Amakhosi or Masandawana, the club Uganda's Denis Onyango kept goal for. Postponed matches stay in the list with a clear marker until a new date is confirmed, and they then move into place automatically. Once a game has been played, the score moves into the Premiership results, with the scorers and the round it belonged to. If your club has a cup run or a CAF campaign, check the filter after each cup draw, because those are the weeks when league dates are most likely to shift.

Which Rivalries and African Connections Should You Watch?

The Soweto Derby is the date every South African circles first, and the fixture list shows both meetings between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates each season. The first derby was played on 24 January 1970 and Pirates won by a single goal, and the widest margin remains Pirates' 5 to 1 win in 1998.

The continental record adds weight for viewers further north. Pirates won the African Cup of Champions Clubs in 1995 and Chiefs followed with the African Cup Winners' Cup in 2001. Sundowns, coached by Pitso Mosimane, beat Egypt's Zamalek 3 to 1 on aggregate in the 2016 CAF Champions League final, the year Uganda's goalkeeper Denis Onyango was named African Player of the Year Based in Africa, which gives readers in Kampala and Nairobi a clear reason to follow Masandawana.
