The draw for the 2026 KZN Premier’s Cup has been confirmed, with the tournament set to serve as the curtain-raiser for the new season.
KwaZulu-Natal’s six professional clubs are preparing for the 2026/27 campaign, which will get underway in the next three weeks with the MTN8 quarter-finals before the Betway Premiership kicks off the following week.
Five of the participating teams will compete in the top flight, while Milford FC are the newcomers after earning promotion through the PSL Promotional/Relegation Playoffs.
Other top-flight clubs are AmaZulu, Golden Arrows, Richards Bay, Durban City. Midlands Wanderers are the only Motsepe Foundation Championship side taking part in this year’s tournament.
