Here is everything you need to know about the kick off day for the new top flight season

PSL fixtures for the 2024-25 season are already out and perennial champions Mamelodi Sundowns will begin their title defence against SuperSport United on September 17.

There is, however, an air of uncertainty amongst Sundowns fans after their team put up unconvincing displays in the MTN8 before their elimination at the semi-final stage by Stellenbosch FC.

That makes it interesting and perhaps gives other teams like Orlando Pirates hope of finally ending their long wait for a league title.

Kaizer Chiefs' first game of the season will be away to Marumo Gallants in the Free State and a win could set the tone for their season.

When is PSL resuming?

The Betway Premiership kicks off on Saturday 14 September 2024 with Royal AM taking on Cape Town City at the Harry Gwala Stadium at 15:00, while Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs kick-off their campaign later that afternoon with a clash against Marumo Gallants at 17:30.

Meanwhile, champions Mamelodi Sundowns will begin their campaign on Tuesday 17 September, taking on SuperSport United at home at 19:30.

Cup kings Orlando Pirates, who will be contesting the MTN8 final against Stellenbosch FC, begin their league challenge against Chippa United a day later on Wednesday 18 September at 19:30.

Where to watch

The PSL will be broadcast live on Showmax, SABC and SuperSport TV. SuperSport will broadcast all 240 Betway Premiership on TV and live streaming through DStv Stream as well as Showmax Premier League.

Both channels will continue bringing viewers top-notch pre-match, halftime and post-match analysis from expert pundits and legends, with the usual touch of midweek magazine programming.

The partnership between SuperSport and Showmax means that fans can now enjoy all Premier Soccer League (PSL) matches through the Showmax Premier League mobile streaming service .

In addition to all 380 Premier League games, football fans can now also stream every PSL match live, including major cup competitions such as the Carling Knockout Cup, MTN8, and Nedbank Cup – all for just R69 per month. 

This should make it much easier for fans to follow their favorite teams and catch all the action live.
