Overview
- The PSL announced on Monday that Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban will stage the MTN8 final between Orlando Pirates (home) and Mamelodi Sundowns (away) on Saturday 10 October with kick-off at 18:00.
- Orlando Pirates enter seeking a fifth straight MTN8 title after their 4-0 aggregate win over Sekhukhune United secured a record fifth consecutive final appearance.
- Pirates and Sundowns have a long MTN8 rivalry, meeting 14 times in the competition including 10 semi-finals and two finals, with Pirates beating Sundowns on penalties in the 2023 final.
- Moses Mabhida has hosted 11 of the 19 MTN8 finals since 2008 and returns as the showpiece venue after the 2025 final was held at Mbombela Stadium.
- Mamelodi Sundowns will aim to reclaim a trophy they last won in 2021 and the match will be broadcast on the SuperSport PSL Channel, a setup likely to draw a national crowd and shape home advantage dynamics.
