All systems go for Nedbank Cup as PSL confirms competing clubs

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has confirmed the full list of clubs set to compete in the 2026 Nedbank Cup, with all 16 Betway Premiership sides joined by teams from the Motsepe Foundation Championship and SAFA structures. 

The last remaining place will be filled by a SAFA club from the Western Cape, still to be confirmed.

The Round of 32 draw will take place on Thursday evening in Sandton and will be broadcast live on SuperSport PSL Channel 202. 

As per tradition, the first ball drawn will determine the home team, with the second naming the away side, until all fixtures are finalised. 

With top-flight giants, ambitious lower-division sides and amateur outfits all in the mix, the stage is set for another unpredictable Nedbank Cup campaign.
