SuperSport United are the only team to appear in every season of the MTN8 competition since the launch of the PSL in the 1996/97 campaign.

2008 Kaizer Chiefs 0-0 Mamelodi Sundowns 2017 SuperSport United 1-1 Cape Town City 1996 Orlando Pirates 1-1 Qwa Qwa Stars

In the 1988 final, when Sundowns edged neighbours Arcadia, the replay was not allowed in Pretoria but was played instead at the Rand Stadium in Johannesburg. There have been three cup final hat-tricks in the competition's history - Ace Ntsoelengoe for Chiefs against AmaZulu in 1976, Marks Maponyane for Chiefs against Rangers in 1987 and Phil Masinga for Jomo Cosmos against Chiefs in 1991, when despite his three goals, he still finished on the losing side.

The most goals scored in a single top-eight match is five by David Dolo for Moroka Swallows as they overwhelmed Winter Roses 11-1 in the 1975 first round. Three own goals were scored in the final when Arcadia beat Wits in the first leg of the 1986 final in Durban, including a spectacular diving header into his own net by Arcs' centre-back Dave Bukowski.
