The anticipated fourth season takes place in a festive window between 26 December 2025 and 25 January 2026, giving holiday-goers and those on staycations access to non-stop cricket and entertainment.
The opening clash at Newlands on Boxing Day will see defending champions MI Cape Town face Durban’s Super Giants in what promises to be an electrifying start. The match kicks off an exciting lineup of opening-week fixtures in Pretoria, Paarl, Durban, Gqeberha, and Johannesburg.
After last season’s record-breaking attendances and ticket sales, the League returns with even more energy, thrilling matchups, and fan experiences across six stadiums. Expect world-class cricket, social-media-worthy vibes, dance-cam moments, and more.
“The opening of ticket sales is a true marker that Season 4 is around the corner,” said Betway SA20 League Commissioner Graeme Smith. “It has been encouraging to see the demand for tickets during the exclusive pre-sale, with the opening match and Final at Newlands already attracting huge inter-est.”
With all six squads confirmed following a record-breaking auction, attention turns to the star-studded lineup. Fans can look forward to international and local icons including Kagiso Rabada, Jos Buttler, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, and Faf du Plessis.
Fans at the Heart of the Action
The “20th Players” return to connect fans like never before, representing each team city with their diverse voices and online personalities. Anele Mdoda, Leandie du Randt, Moshe Ndiki, Nadia Jaftha, Schalk Bezuidenhout, and Vafa Naraghi will lead the movement both in stadiums and online through behind-the-scenes content, takeovers, competitions, and activations.
