PSL announces Nedbank Cup semi-final details

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has officially confirmed the dates, kick-off times, and venues for the 2026 Nedbank Cup semi-finals, paving the way for a historic conclusion to South Africa’s premier knockout tournament.

In a season defined by massive upsets, the ‘Big Three’—Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and defending champions Kaizer Chiefs—all failed to reach the final four, leaving the door wide open for a new hero to emerge.

The semi-finalists represent a diverse mix of grit and ambition, featuring Betway Premiership sides TS Galaxy and Durban City FC alongside Motsepe Foundation Championship promotion contenders Casric Stars and Milford FC. The road to the last four has been nothing short of dramatic; Casric Stars secured their spot by shocking AmaZulu FC, while Milford FC pulled off an equally stunning upset against Sekhukhune United.

Meanwhile, Durban City triumphed in a local derby against Golden Arrows, and TS Galaxy moved one step closer to a second title after defeating Jacksa Spears.

The Giants Have Fallen: A New King to be Crowned in Nedbank Cup

Of the remaining contenders, only the ‘Rockets’ of TS Galaxy have tasted Nedbank Cup glory before, famously defeating Kaizer Chiefs at Moses Mabhida Stadium in 2019. They will look to replicate that magic on Sunday, 05 April 2026, when they host Milford FC at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium in Mpumalanga. This match marks a historic milestone for the KwaMhlanga-based venue, as it will be the first time the facility hosts a fixture of such high magnitude since meeting the required standards for top-flight football.

The weekend’s action will begin a day earlier on Saturday, 04 April 2026, at the Chatsworth Stadium in KwaZulu-Natal, where Durban City will take on Casric Stars. Both semi-final fixtures are scheduled for a 15h00 kick-off.

The League announced on Thursday that tickets are officially on sale as of 11h00 today, priced at R50 through Open Tickets outlets nationwide and online. With the giants of South African football watching from the sidelines, the stage is now set for a “David vs. David” battle for the 2026 crown.
