When will the Betway Premiership break for the festive season?

The Betway Premiership will take a short festive-season break after a busy December schedule, with the final round of matches before Christmas taking place on Sunday, 20 December.

However, the break will be relatively short, with league action scheduled to resume on Friday, 8 January 2027.

This means PSL clubs will have just under three weeks without league fixtures before returning to action early in the new year.

When are the last PSL matches of 2026?

The final round of Betway Premiership fixtures before the festive break will be played between Friday, 18 December and Sunday, 20 December.

Some of the bigger fixtures include:

• Friday, 18 December: Stellenbosch FC vs Mamelodi Sundowns – 19:30
• Saturday, 19 December: Marumo Gallants vs Kaizer Chiefs – 15:30
• Saturday, 19 December: Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane City – 20:15
• Sunday, 20 December: Durban City vs Chippa United – 18:00

When does the PSL resume in January?

The 2026/27 Betway Premiership campaign is scheduled to resume on Friday, 8 January 2027.

The opening fixture of the new year is Milford FC vs Marumo Gallants (19:30).

A day later will see a blockbuster clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates (15:30) which could go some way to determining the favourite for this season’s title.
