2026/27 Betway Premiership
Matchday 5
4-6 September 2026
Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September in the
Betway Premiership will be headlined by a KwaZulu-Natal derby and Chippa United’s return to hosting home matches in the Eastern Cape.
Friday evening opens proceedings with concurrent matches in Rustenburg and Durban (19:30). At the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Marumo Gallants will chase a first win of the season when they host Polokwane City, while the Princess Magogo Stadium hosts the regional derby between Richards Bay and AmaZulu FC.
Usuthu’s standout player so far this season has been striker Thadolwenkosi Ngwenya, who has scored seven goals across all competitions thus far, but coach Arthur Zwane does not want to see his team relying so heavily on the Zimbabwean.
“It’s good to see him scoring goals,” said Zwane. “The only concern is that it can’t be only him who scores for us. Others also need to take responsibility. You can’t rely on him, because if he gets injured again, then we’re going to have a problem.”
Saturday’s brace of matches sees Chippa United host Milford FC at the Buffalo City Stadium (15:00), before Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy lock horns at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium (17:30).
Chippa have had a slow start to the campaign, but coach Brandon Truter hopes that a return to the Eastern Cape for their homes matches – having had venues unavailable in recent weeks – could mark a turning point.
“We are closer to getting those three points, especially now coming back home to the Eastern Cape and coming back to our home supporters. I think that will be our turning point,” said Truter.
“Milford is not an easy opponent that we are facing next. It’s a team that comes up from the first division. It’s a team that comes up wanting to prove themselves with a lot of energy as well.”
The weekend’s action concludes on Sunday with back-to-back matches featuring heavyweights: Golden Arrows and Mamelodi Sundowns will renew hostilities at the King Zwelithini Stadium (15:00 CAT) after their recent MTN8 semifinal tie, before Kaizer Chiefs host Siwelele FC at the Dobsonville Stadium (17:30).
