MTN8 expected to set the tone for an anticipated thrilling season

The countdown to the 2025/25 Premier Soccer League has hit the home stretch with the curtain raiser top eight competition kicking off this weekend ahead of what is expected to be an exhilarating Betway Premiership season.

Orlando Pirates will start their MTN8 title defence against Polokwane City at Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon. That game will be followed by Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy in Polokwane at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

On Sunday, Stellenbosch FC will collide with AmaZulu at Cape Town Stadium. Mamelodi Sundowns will then conclude the quarterfinal stage of the competition in an evening fixture when they entertain Richards Bay at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville, Pretoria.

Sunday World looks at the four MTN8 fixtures that should set the tone for the new season.
