By Sello Masilo
PSL Clubs’ Home Grounds for the 2025/26 Betway Premiership Season Revealed. As the excitement builds for the upcoming football campaign, fans across South Africa are eager to know where their favourite teams will host most of their matches. The Premier Soccer League has outlined the primary venues for each club, with some interesting adjustments to accommodate bigger crowds and logistical needs. This setup promises an action-packed season, starting with opening fixtures that showcase these grounds in full swing.
Overview of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership Home Venues
The Betway Premiership, South Africa’s top-flight football league, is set to kick off on 9 August 2025, with a fresh lineup of home grounds for the 16 participating clubs. These venues not only serve as battlegrounds for intense rivalries but also reflect the growth of football infrastructure in the country. From iconic stadiums in major cities to more intimate settings in smaller towns, each ground brings its own atmosphere and challenges.
For the 2025/26 season, the league has ensured that most teams stick to familiar territories, but there are notable shifts for newly promoted sides and clubs undergoing changes. Promoted teams like Magesi FC and Orbit College have secured local stadiums to build their presence in the top division, while Siwelele FC, having recently acquired top-flight status, will make use of a well-established Pretoria venue. Additionally, some clubs will shift to larger arenas for high-profile clashes against giants like Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, and Mamelodi Sundowns to handle bigger crowds and enhance the spectacle.
This arrangement comes after careful planning by the league to balance fan access, safety, and commercial appeal. With the season’s fixtures now out, including derbies and cup games, these home grounds will play a key role in determining team performance, as home advantage often proves crucial in tight contests.
Detailed List of PSL Clubs and Their Primary Home Grounds
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of where each Betway Premiership club will play most of their home games in the 2025/26 season, based on the released fixtures. We’ve included capacity estimates, location details, and any special notes to help fans plan their match-day experiences.
- AmaZulu: Moses Mabhida Stadium, Kings Park Stadium, or King Zwelithini Stadium (Durban, KwaZulu-Natal). With a capacity ranging from 10,000 to 54,000 across these venues, AmaZulu’s games are spread across the three locations to manage scheduling and fan turnout. This flexibility allows the club to host smaller league matches at King Zwelithini in Umlazi while reserving the larger Moses Mabhida for bigger occasions. The setup ensures better accessibility for Durban-based supporters and reflects the club’s strong roots in the region.
- Chippa United: Buffalo City Stadium (East London, Eastern Cape). This 16,000-seater ground provides a vibrant coastal atmosphere for the Chilli Boys. Known for its passionate local support, the stadium will host the season opener against defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns on 9 August 2025, marking a tough start for Chippa on home soil.
- Durban City: Chatsworth Stadium (Chatsworth, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal). As a newer entrant to the top flight, Durban City has chosen this 22,000-capacity venue in the southern suburbs. It’s a community-focused ground that aligns with the club’s ambition to grow grassroots football in the area, offering fans an intimate viewing experience close to home.
- Golden Arrows: King Zwelithini Stadium (Umlazi, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal). With a capacity of around 10,000, this stadium serves as the primary base for Abafana Bes’thende. Its location in a bustling township adds to the electric match-day vibe, and it’s expected to host key fixtures where the team’s tactical home setups can shine.
- Kaizer Chiefs: FNB Stadium (Johannesburg, Gauteng). The iconic 94,736-seater, also known as Soccer City, remains the fortress for Amakhosi. This massive venue will be the site of high-stakes games, including the Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates on 28 February 2026, and again on 25 April 2026. Its world-class facilities make it ideal for drawing huge crowds and creating unforgettable atmospheres.
- Magesi FC: Seshego Stadium (Seshego, Polokwane, Limpopo). As a promoted side, Magesi will use this modest 15,000-capacity ground to establish their presence. The venue’s community ties will help build a loyal fanbase, with early-season home games providing opportunities to surprise stronger opponents.
- Mamelodi Sundowns: Loftus Versfeld Stadium (Pretoria, Gauteng). With 51,762 seats, this historic ground continues to be the home of the Brazilians. It’s equipped for high-level football, including continental matches, and will host crucial league ties as Sundowns aim to defend their title.
- Marumo Gallants: Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium (Bloemfontein, Free State). This 20,000-seater offers a central location for Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, fostering a strong regional following. The ground’s upgrades in recent years ensure it meets premiership standards, with fixtures against top teams potentially drawing full houses.
- Orbit College: Olympia Park Stadium (Rustenburg, North West). Another promoted team, Orbit will play at this 10,000-capacity venue, known for its role in developing local talent. It’s a fitting choice for a club focused on youth, providing a platform to compete against established sides.
- Orlando Pirates: Orlando Stadium (Soweto, Johannesburg, Gauteng). The 37,313-seater remains the Buccaneers’ stronghold, kicking off the season with a home clash against Sekhukhune United on 9 August 2025. Its passionate crowds often give Pirates an edge in thrilling encounters.
- Polokwane City: Old Peter Mokaba Stadium (Polokwane, Limpopo). With around 15,000 seats, this venue suits the team’s style, offering a compact setting where underdogs can thrive. It’s distinct from the newer Peter Mokaba used by neighbours Sekhukhune.
- Richards Bay: uMhlathuze Sports Complex (Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal). This 8,000-capacity ground will host matches like the opening weekend game against Marumo Gallants. Its coastal setting adds a unique flavour, with potential for growth as the club stabilizes in the league.
- Sekhukhune United: New Peter Mokaba Stadium (Polokwane, Limpopo). The 41,733-seater provides a modern backdrop for Babina Noko, supporting their ambitions with excellent facilities and room for expanding crowds.
- Siwelele FC: Lucas Moripe Stadium (Atteridgeville, Pretoria, Gauteng). Following their recent purchase of top-flight status, Siwelele will base themselves at this 28,900-capacity venue. It’s a strategic choice in the capital, allowing them to tap into a large urban fanbase and host competitive games effectively.
- Stellenbosch FC: Danie Craven Stadium (Stellenbosch, Western Cape). With 16,000 seats, this university-linked ground emphasizes community and development. However, for cup games like the MTN8 quarter-final against AmaZulu on 3 August 2025, they may shift to larger spots like DHL Stadium in Cape Town to accommodate more fans.
- TS Galaxy: Mbombela Stadium (Mbombela, Mpumalanga). The 40,929-seater offers a spacious environment for the Rockets, ideal for their attacking brand of football and attracting supporters from surrounding areas.
Special Arrangements for Big Matches and Venue Changes
In line with league guidelines, several teams will move high-profile games—especially against Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, and Mamelodi Sundowns—to larger stadiums. This ensures safety, boosts revenue from ticket sales, and enhances the overall experience for fans. For instance, smaller clubs might opt for venues like FNB Stadium or Moses Mabhida for these clashes, turning them into major events.
The 2025/26 season also highlights infrastructure improvements across the country. Venues like Loftus Versfeld and FNB Stadium have undergone recent upgrades, including better lighting and seating, to meet international standards. For promoted teams, securing stable home grounds is vital for building momentum, as seen with Magesi and Orbit College settling into local facilities.
