The 2026/27 Betway Premiership will take a short break over the festive period, with the final round of fixtures before Christmas scheduled for Sunday, 20 December.
The league programme will resume on Friday, 8 January 2027, meaning PSL clubs will have just under three weeks without a league fixture.
The last pre-Christmas round will be played across three days, from Friday, 18 December to Sunday, 20 December, following a busy schedule during the month.
The first match after the break will see Milford FC host Marumo Gallants on Friday, 8 January, with kick-off at 19:30.
A major fixture follows on Saturday, 9 January, when Mamelodi Sundowns face Orlando Pirates at 15:30. The meeting could play an important role in shaping the title race and determining which side emerges as the favourite for the 2026/27 campaign.
Kaizer Chiefs will begin their league programme in the new year against Durban City on Sunday, 10 January. That match is scheduled to start at 15:30.
