Can Orlando Pirates win back-to-back Betway Premiership titles after beating Mamelodi Sundowns to top spot last season.

The battle for the 2026/27 Betway Premiership title is expected to revolve around four clubs with genuine ambitions of lifting South African football’s biggest prize.

Defending champions Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu all begin the new campaign believing they have assembled squads capable of challenging near the summit.

Each club enters the season with a different story to tell, but all know consistency over 30 matches will determine who will lift South Africa’s biggest domestic prize.
