The Nedbank Cup last 32 round will run from Wednesday, 4 February to Tuesday, 10 February 2026, marking the official start of this season’s Ke Yona.
Kaizer Chiefs will begin their title defence with an away trip to Stellenbosch FC at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town.
Amakhosi return to the tournament after lifting last season’s trophy with a 2–1 win over Orlando Pirates in the final, a victory that ended a long wait for major silverware.
NEDBANK CUP ROUND OF 32
On the same evening, Mamelodi Sundowns are scheduled to host National First Division side Gomora United at Loftus Versfeld Stadium, with both opening fixtures set for 19:30 kick-offs.
Orlando Pirates, last season’s finalists, will face Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 7 February.
Historically, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates remain the most successful clubs in the current Nedbank Cup format, each with four titles.
