SA20 2026 Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast

The stage is set for the SA20 Season 5 player auction as four franchises prepare to battle it out for 19 available squad slots with a total purse of USD 2.10 million. With Durban's Super Giants and Paarl Royals having already finalised their squads following an increase in the salary cap to USD 2.54 million for Season 5, the remaining four teams - Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, and Pretoria Capitals - will enter the bidding room to complete their rosters.

Experienced presenter Dan Nicholl will hold the gavel for the first time, with former South Africa internationals Chris Morris and Neil McKenzie offering expert commentary as the proceedings unfold.

Under league roster regulations, each 19-player squad must feature 18 registered core players, including a maximum of seven overseas players and a minimum of 11 South Africans (at least two of whom must be Under-23), in addition to one wildcard player outside the standard salary cap. Both Joburg Super Kings and MI Cape Town must select at least one Under-23 player from the 48 players shortlisted in that category.

The auction structure comprises Marquee Mixed Set Rounds followed by a Nomination Express Round, where franchises can explicitly nominate individual players to bring to the table. The Right to Match (RTM) option will not be available to any of the participating teams for this auction.
