Kaizer Chiefs will be lending their support once more to the Joburg Super Kings cricket franchise when Season Four of the premier Betway South African T20 competition begins on 26 December. Amakhosi and Joburg Super Kings have worked closely over the past two seasons and will continue collaborating in the new season.

The Joburg Super Kings begin their campaign on 27 December with a Gauteng derby against the Pretoria Capitals on the road. Their first home game in Johannesburg is on 1 January 2026, against Durban's Super Giants.

Chiefs’ Marketing Director Jessica Motaung speaks fondly about the growing relationship with Joburg Super Kings over the past two seasons.

“Our club has worked well with the Joburg Super Kings and we’re looking to build and grow this relationship further with various touchpoints, including fan engagement and other media activities. We are looking forward to strengthening this partnership in season four," she tells www.kaizerchiefs.com.

Motaung is confident that Joburg Super Kings will have a successful season both on and off the field.

“We want to wish Avinash and the team all the best this season. They have our full support and backing. All our teams - seniors, women and youth, as well as our fantastic Kaizer Chiefs supporters will be in attendance to make the Bullring an even more intimidating venue for visiting teams,” she adds.

KS Viswanathan, the Director of Joburg Super Kings says, “Over the past two seasons, we have had a wonderful partnership with the Kaizer Chiefs. This collaboration reflects a commitment to uplifting the sport and creating meaningful experiences for fans across regions. Both the Joburg Super Kings and Kaizer Chiefs wear the yellow jerseys and I am proud of what we have built so far and excited for the future of this partnership.”

Kaizer Chiefs is the only football club in South Africa that has established a partnership with a South African cricket franchise, making Amakhosi and the Joburg Super Kings a formidable duo. Chiefs will have former player and assistant coach, Shaun Bartlett, and current Amakhosi players, Ignacio Miguel and Flavio Da Silva, attending a Joburg Super Kings training session on 21 December (Sunday).
