If you are searching for Mamelodi Sundowns fixtures in 2026, you are in the right place. Octafield carries live Betway Premiership data for the full 2026/27 season — kick-off times in South African Standard Time, venues, results and standings updated continuously as the campaign unfolds. Bookmark the PSL hub and the Mamelodi Sundowns team page and you will never need to chase a schedule across five different sites again.

When Does the 2026/27 Season Start?

The Betway Premiership 2026/27 kicks off on Saturday, 1 August 2026. Mamelodi Sundowns open their title defence at home in Round 1, hosting Marumo Gallants at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium with an 18:00 SAST kick-off. That is a fixture worth marking in your calendar — Masandawana in front of their own supporters, in the heat of an opening-day spotlight, is always a statement occasion. You can follow every moment on the Sundowns v Marumo Gallants match page.

Sundowns' Confirmed Fixtures So Far

Octafield's data currently shows two confirmed Mamelodi Sundowns fixtures for the new campaign. After the home opener against Marumo Gallants on 1 August, Steve Komphela's side travel to Mbombela Stadium to face TS Galaxy on Tuesday, 11 August, with a 19:30 SAST kick-off. That away assignment at the TS Galaxy v Mamelodi Sundowns match page will be an early read on how the squad handles life on the road. Mbombela is no gimme — altitude, a vocal home support and a TS Galaxy side that will want to make a point early in the season.

The Title Defence Picture

Mamelodi Sundowns have been the dominant force in the modern PSL era, building a record run of consecutive league titles and regularly pushing deep into the CAF Champions League. Defending a championship is a different psychological beast to winning one, and from my experience of captaining a side through long campaigns, the standards you set in August often dictate where you finish in May. Komphela will know that every opponent circles the Sundowns fixture as their cup final.

Before the league season begins, the MTN8 — the season-opening knockout contested by the top eight finishers from the previous Betway Premiership campaign — offers a first piece of silverware and a first proper competitive test. Keep an eye on the MTN8 hub for draw and fixture updates as they are confirmed.
