The continent’s leading sports broadcaster promises seamless coverage of Europe’s elite leagues and South Africa’s fiercest title race, with the action kicking off in just days.
Betway Premiership: Can Pirates Defend Their Throne?
Orlando Pirates ended Mamelodi Sundowns’ long dominance of the Betway Premiership in the 2025/26 season, but you can bet the Brazilians will be hungry to reclaim the throne. Kaizer Chiefs enter the campaign under yet another new coach, while league newcomers Milford FC and Kruger United look to make their mark. South Africa’s top-flight league resumes on the weekend of 1 August 2026, with the Buccaneers opening their defence against Milford in Soweto.
PSG, Aston Villa Set For Battle In Leipzig
Paris Saint-Germain (UEFA Champions League winners) and Aston Villa (UEFA Europa League winners) battle in Leipzig for the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday 12 August, a clash which sets the standard for European club football in the coming season.
La Liga Welcomes Back Giants and Promoted Sides
Spain’s topflight adds another thrilling chapter with Racing Santander, Deportivo La Coruña, and Malaga back in the mix. A strengthened squad featuring Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konate, and Denzel Dumfries prepares for the challenges ahead. The season opens on 15 August 2026, though both Barcelona and Real Madrid have their matches postponed in response to Spain’s World Cup win, giving their players more recovery time. Deportivo Alaves tackles Getafe in the opening match.
