PSL release MTN8 fixtures
The Premier Soccer League revealed the fixtures for the upcoming first round of the MTN8 on Monday afternoon.
The league announced the fixtures on Monday as they look ahead to the 17 October start date.
There will be two games on the Saturday the 17th of October with defending champions SuperSport United, who finished in fifth last season, kicking things off against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila after the side from Limpopo acquired the top-flight status of the now defunct Bidvest Wits, who finished last season in fourth place.
In one of the other game of the day Joseph Zinnbauer’s Orlando Pirates will take on Cape Town City. Pirates finished last season in third after a revival under their German coach while the Citizens finished the season with a bang eventually finishing sixth after also starting the campaign poorly.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
