The 2020-21 season will kick off on October 17 with the MTN8 cup competition‚ and then the DStv Premiership on October 24‚ Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman Irvin Khoza has announced.

The two-month late kickoff – normally a PSL season starts in August – follows the late conclusion in September to the 2019-20 campaign due to the effects of a four-month suspension of play in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I know that we left one or two things hanging. We announced that the fixtures would commence on October 9‚” Khoza told a televised press conference on Wednesday.“ ... The start date is October 17 with the MTN8 competition. The DStv Premiership will start on October 24.” Khoza said the PSL are awaiting the directives from the government on how the 2020-21 season can take place at the clubs’ home grounds.

“And we hope we get the new directives sooner rather than later going forward. Because we cannot be in the bubble again – it cost us R80-million to R90-million to be in the bubble.”
