Watching South Africa's Betway Premiership on SuperSport and DStv
The Betway Premiership is South Africa's top flight, run by the Premier Soccer League, with 16 clubs playing 30 matches each in a season that starts in August or September and ends in May. The Soweto derby between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates is the fixture the whole country stops for, while Mamelodi Sundowns have set the pace at the top for most of the past decade and also carry the flag in the CAF Champions League.
Every live match in our listings goes through SuperSport. In South Africa the games sit on SuperSport PSL, a channel dedicated to the local league inside DStv satellite packages, and they stream on DStv Stream for anyone who would rather watch on a phone, tablet or laptop. Beyond South Africa, SuperSport's regional channels bring live matches to viewers in Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Kampala and Dar es Salaam, again with DStv Stream as the online option.
There is no free-to-air coverage in 2026/27, and our listings show no broadcaster outside Africa. That matters for the many South Africans in the UK, the Gulf, Australia and North America: if you already pay for DStv Stream at home, a VPN connected to a South African server lets the app behave as if you never left.
Matches are played on South African Standard Time (UTC+2), mostly on weekend afternoons and evenings, with midweek rounds slotted in between the domestic cup competitions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What channel shows the Betway Premiership in South Africa?
SuperSport PSL, the SuperSport channel devoted to the local league, available in DStv satellite packages. The same matches stream live on DStv Stream, so you can follow Chiefs, Pirates or Sundowns on a phone or laptop without a decoder in the room.
Can I stream the Betway Premiership without a satellite dish?
Yes. DStv Stream carries the live matches online, and it runs in a web browser as well as on phone, tablet and smart TV apps. You sign up for a streaming package instead of installing a dish and decoder, and your login works on several devices.
Is the Betway Premiership on free TV?
Not this season. No free-to-air channel holds the rights, so live matches are on SuperSport and DStv Stream only. Pirate links to PSL games do get shared on social media, but they are often shut down mid-game and come loaded with pop-ups.
Can fans in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana watch South African football?
Yes, through SuperSport's regional channels, which carry live Betway Premiership matches to most of the continent south of the Sahara; DStv Stream is the online choice. The league's biggest names, including Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, also play regularly in CAF club competitions, so many fans follow them on both fronts.
Can I watch the Betway Premiership in the UK or USA?
Our listings show no channel outside Africa for 2026/27. If you subscribe to DStv Stream in South Africa, a VPN set to South Africa lets the app recognize your usual location while you live or travel abroad, so the subscription you already pay for keeps working.
When does the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season run?
The season normally kicks off in August or September and finishes in May, with each of the 16 clubs playing 30 league games, 15 at home and 15 away. Domestic cups such as the MTN8 and the Nedbank Cup run alongside it, which is why some league rounds move to midweek.
What time do Betway Premiership matches kick off?
Games follow South African Standard Time (UTC+2), with weekend kick-offs in the afternoon or evening. Johannesburg is one hour behind Nairobi, one hour ahead of Lagos and two hours ahead of Accra. For fans in Britain, it is two hours later in Johannesburg in winter and one hour later during British summer time.
Does Betway stream Betway Premiership games?
Betway, which sponsors the league, is one of the South African bookmakers that streams live football in its app once you place a bet, and it does the same in Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda and Tanzania. The selection of matches changes, so treat it as an extra rather than a replacement for SuperSport. 18+.
How do I watch the Soweto derby?
Kaizer Chiefs against Orlando Pirates goes out live on SuperSport, on the SuperSport PSL channel in South Africa and on the regional SuperSport channels elsewhere in Africa, and it streams on DStv Stream. It is the biggest date of the league season, so log in a few minutes early and let the app update before kick-off.
