Kaizer Chiefs will return to Betway Premiership action on Wednesday, 26 August, when they take on Richards Bay FC in a fixture that could have an immediate impact on the early league standings.
The match is scheduled to begin at 19:30, with Amakhosi looking to build on their encouraging opening to the 2026/27 campaign.
The game comes after a 10-day break from competitive action, giving the Chiefs squad time to prepare for their next challenge.
Match Moves Away From Moses Mabhida Stadium
Supporters heading to the fixture should take note of an important change to the original arrangements.
The match was initially scheduled to take place at Moses Mabhida Stadium, but the venue is no longer available.
The Premier Soccer League and Richards Bay subsequently confirmed that the fixture has been moved to Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu, north of Durban.
The venue switch means supporters will need to adjust their travel plans, although previously purchased tickets remain valid.
Chiefs Have Their Eyes on Top Spot
Kaizer Chiefs enter the match sitting joint-top of the Betway Premiership standings with seven points from their first three matches.
A victory against Richards Bay would take Amakhosi to 10 points and could strengthen their position near the top of the table during the early stages of the season.
The club has made a positive start to the campaign and will be eager to maintain that momentum when they return to league action.
Richards Bay Searching for First Win
Richards Bay face a very different situation heading into the contest.
The Natal Rich Boyz have collected just two points from their opening three league matches and are still waiting for their first victory of the campaign.
Playing in front of their home supporters at Princess Magogo Stadium could provide an important boost as they attempt to upset the league leaders and get their season moving.
Supporters Do Not Need New Tickets
The change of venue will not force fans who have already purchased tickets to start the buying process again.
Existing tickets for the match remain valid despite the move from Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Additional tickets are reportedly available for R100 through OpenTickets, as well as selected Shoprite, Checkers and Usave stores across the country.
