The Betway Premiership is the top flight of the Premier Soccer League (PSL). Sixteen clubs play each other home and away across 38 rounds, and the team with the most points at the end wins the title, with no play-off. The top sides qualify for the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup, while the bottom clubs face relegation, including a promotion-relegation play-off, to the National First Division.

The biggest clubs in South African football are Mamelodi Sundowns, the dominant force of the recent era, along with the two Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. The Soweto Derby between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates is the most important match in the South African game. Stellenbosch, SuperSport United and Sundowns regularly feature in the continental places.

Yes. Sports betting operates in South Africa under licences issued by provincial gambling boards under the National Gambling Board, with the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board a key licensing authority. The minimum age to bet is 18. Licensed operators such as Hollywoodbets, Betway, Supabets, Sportingbet and Sunbet offer South African and international football markets.

Hollywoodbets is the market leader in South Africa, with one of the most complete offerings on local football. Other well-known licensed operators include Betway, Supabets, Sportingbet and Sunbet, with Easybet and World Sports Betting also present. The best bookmaker depends on what you want: odds, available markets, live streaming or easy deposits in rand. Always compare the odds before you bet.

Both Teams to Score, often shortened to BTTS, is a bet that both the home team and the away team find the net at least once during the 90 minutes. The final result does not matter, only that both teams score. It is one of the most popular markets in South Africa because it lands in close to half of all matches in the Premier League and the PSL, which makes it ideal for building accumulators.

The Asian handicap removes the draw as a possible result. A clear favourite might be set at a handicap of -1.5 goals, meaning it must win by 2 or more goals for the bet to win. A handicap of -1.25 splits your stake in half between -1 and -1.5. If the favourite wins by exactly one goal, you get half your stake back. It is a popular market for those who want a two-way bet with no draw.

VAR pauses the betting markets completely. If you bet on a team to score the next goal and the ball goes in, the bookmaker holds the settlement until the VAR review is confirmed. A disallowed goal keeps your bet live. Markets are usually suspended at the moment of the goal and reopen once the referee confirms it stands. Live bettors should factor in this delay. Note that VAR is not yet used in every PSL match, so check the competition.

Most bookmakers void match-result bets if a game is abandoned before the 90 minutes are completed and refund your stake. First-half bets are settled if the first 45 minutes were finished. Markets that have already been decided, such as the first goalscorer, usually stand. Always check the specific abandonment rules of your bookmaker.

An accumulator, also called a parlay, combines several selections from different matches on a single bet slip. Every selection must win for the bet to pay out. The odds multiply together, so four selections at odds of 3.00 each produce an accumulator at close to 81.00. It is one of the most popular formats in South Africa because it lets you win a lot from a small stake, although the risk also rises with each selection.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the first with 48 teams and is co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The expanded format gives Africa more places, which improves Bafana Bafana's chances of qualifying. The tournament runs with 12 groups of four, followed by a round of 32, last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final, scheduled for 19 July 2026 in New Jersey.

Look beyond the overall record. Focus on home and away dominance, on the results of the last three years rather than the whole history, and on whether the current coach was in charge for those games. A team can trail in the overall head-to-head but hold a strong recent home record against a specific rival. On ScoresLive the head-to-head data shows the last five meetings with scores, venues and goal difference.

Yes. Bet builders, also called your-bet, let you combine match winner, correct score, first goalscorer, anytime goalscorer, number of corners, number of cards, a player's shots on target and more on a single slip. This product is very popular with South African punters and is available at the leading bookmakers licensed by provincial gambling boards.

South Africa's top Betway Premiership finishers qualify for the CAF Champions League, Africa's premier club competition. The tournament has a group stage followed by two-legged knockout ties up to the final. Mamelodi Sundowns are the leading South African side on the continent, regularly reaching the latter stages. Clubs that fall short can drop into the CAF Confederation Cup, the second-tier competition.

The English Premier League is hugely followed in South Africa, with strong support for clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
