KAIZER Chiefs have made a blistering start to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign, and the coming weeks will put their credentials to the test across domestic and continental fronts.

- SMISO MSOMI

Amakhosi currently sit second on the Premiership table, unbeaten after five matches. Four wins and a single draw, with no goals conceded, have provided the perfect foundation for Nasreddine Nabi’s side.

But the next two weeks present a defining stretch. Between September 16 and 27, Chiefs will play five matches across the league and the CAF Confederation Cup. It is a congested run that will test their squad depth, rotation policy and consistency.

September 16 - Sekhukhune United (Home, 7.30pm)

Chiefs resume action after the international break against Sekhukhune United at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday.

Babina Noko have developed a reputation as stubborn opponents for the Soweto giants, often setting up compact and disciplined structures.
