Orlando Pirates are set to kick off the 2025/26 Betway Premiership against Sekhukhune United at home.
The Buccaneers are currently in Spain for their pre-season camp, trying to integrate their new signings while getting used to new head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
So far, though, Pirates are yet to win, having drawn with UD Las Palmas, Pafos FC after losing their opener 2-0 to Bolton Wanderers.
Pirates still have two weeks before the 2025/26 season kicks off with an MTN8 fixture against Polokwane City on 2 August, while the new league campaigns starts a week later.
The Buccaneers face Babina Noko on 9 August at 17:30, before traveling to Marumo Gallants on Tuesday. They then host Stellenbosch FC in another tricky home fixture on 19 August, while a week later they have a reunion with Monnapule Saleng who visits Orlando Stadium with Orbit College.
Ouaddou’s men finish the first month of 2025/26 with an away game against Chippa United at Buffalo City Stadium.
Pirates first five fixtures*:
- vs Sekhukhune United (H)
- vs Marumo Gallants (a)
- vs Stellenbosch FC (H)
- vs Orbit College (H)
- vs Chippa United (a)
*Drafted fixtures, subject to change.
