If you love South African football, the Super 8 tournament is a must‑follow event. It brings together eight of the continent’s best clubs for a short, high‑stakes competition that decides who goes on to the CAF Champions League. Below you’ll find everything you need to stay up‑to‑date and enjoy every match.
The Super 8 runs over two weeks in August. The eight teams are split into two groups of four. Each team plays three group games, then the top two from each group advance to the semi‑finals. Winners meet in a single‑match final. All fixtures are listed on our site, and we update them as soon as dates change.
Group A usually features clubs like Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, while Group B often has teams such as SuperSport United, Maritzburg United and others. The schedule is designed to give fans a game every three days, so you never have to wait long for the next showdown.
In South Africa, DStv’s Supersport channels broadcast every Super 8 match live. If you don’t have pay‑TV, you can stream through the Supersport app on your phone or tablet – just log in with your subscription details. For those outside the region, many matches are available on the CAF official YouTube channel after they air.
Want to catch the action without missing a beat? Set reminders on your calendar for each game day. Most clubs also share live‑score updates on Twitter and Instagram, so you can follow the drama even when you’re on the go.
Tickets for the final are usually sold out fast, but early‑bird sales start two weeks before the tournament kicks off. Check the official ticket portal or visit the stadium’s box office for the latest availability. Prices range from R150 to R350 depending on seating location.
If you’re attending in person, arrive at least 30 minutes early to avoid queues at security checks. Bring a valid ID and your ticket confirmation – some venues now require QR‑code scanning. Dress for the weather; August can be chilly, especially in the evenings.
Past winners of the Super 8 include Sundowns (2022) and Orlando Pirates (2021). Their success often translates to strong performances in the CAF Champions League, so watching this tournament gives you a preview of who might dominate continental football next season.
