Joburg Super Kings begins their campaign on December 27 with a Gauteng derby against the Pretoria Capitals on the road. Their first home game at Johannesburg is on January 1, 2026 against Durban Super Giants.

KS Viswanathan, the Director of Joburg Super Kings said: “Over the past two seasons, we have had a wonderful partnership with the Kaizer Chiefs. This collaboration reflects a commitment to uplifting the sport and creating meaningful experiences for fans across regions. Both Joburg Super Kings and Kaizer Chiefs wear the yellow jersey and I am proud of what we have built so far, and excited for the future of this partnership.”

Chiefs’ Marketing Director Jessica Motaung speaks fondly about the growing relationship with Joburg Super Kings over the past two seasons.

“Our club has worked well with Joburg Super Kings and is looking to build and grow this relationship with various touchpoints including fan engagement and other media activities. We are looking forward to strengthening this partnership in season four”.

Motaung is confident that Joburg Super Kings will have a successful season both on and off the field.

“We want to wish the Joburg team all the best this season. They have our full support and backing. All our teams – seniors, women and youth as well as our fantastic Kaizer Chiefs supporters will be in attendance to make the Bullring an even more intimidating venue for visiting teams.”

Kaizer Chiefs is the only football club in South Africa that has established a partnership with a South African cricket franchise, making Amakhosi and Joburg Super Kings a formidable duo.
