Navigating the 2025 Betway Premiership Run-In: A Complete Fixture Guide
The 2025/26 Betway Premiership season is heating up, with the title race wide open as the campaign passes the one-third mark. Defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns find themselves in a familiar position at the summit, but their grip on the trophy is far from secure.
A Tightly Contested Title Race
This season, the path hasn’t been entirely smooth for Masandawana. With seven wins from their opening twelve fixtures, their dominance is being seriously challenged. The chasing pack, led by a resurgent Orlando Pirates, is applying intense pressure. The Buccaneers sit just three points adrift and hold a significant advantage with two games in hand. Not to be outdone, arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs are also three points behind the leaders, with one fewer match played, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the year.
The AFCON Break Looms
With the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled for Morocco from December 21 to January 18, the domestic calendar is compressed. Teams are facing a relentless schedule of matches before the mid-season pause. The final round of league fixtures for 2025 is set for Wednesday, December 3rd, allowing the South African national team, Bafana Bafana, ample preparation time. The Betway Premiership is scheduled to resume on January 20, 2026.
