Kaizer Chiefs face Siwelele in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final at New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with kick-off at 18:00 SAST.

The game was moved to the evening to avoid a clash with the CAF Super Cup final in Pretoria.

The winner goes through to the semi-finals, and any draw after 90 minutes goes to extra time and then penalties.
