Durban City FC begin their 2026/27 Betway Premiership campaign on Saturday as the Citizens travel to Seshego Stadium to face Sekhukhune United in their opening league fixture of the season.
The start of a new season brings fresh expectations as Durban City prepares to embark on another Betway Premiership campaign.
Saturday’s encounter also marks the first competitive league fixture under Head Coach Khalil Ben Youssef, who takes charge of the Citizens following an active off-season that saw the Club strengthen both its playing squad and technical team.
Standing in City’s way are familiar opponents in Sekhukhune United. The two sides met twice in last season’s league campaign, with Babina Noko claiming a 2-0 victory in the opening meeting before sharing the spoils in an entertaining 1-1 draw at Chatsworth Stadium later in the season.
While those results remain part of the recent history between the two clubs, Saturday presents an entirely new challenge as both sides begin another Betway Premiership campaign with the opportunity to lay down an early marker.
Opening fixtures often set the tone for the weeks ahead, and the Citizens will be aiming to start the season with a disciplined and positive performance away from home.
With a refreshed squad, several new additions and a full pre-season behind them, the Citizens will look to carry that preparation into competitive action as they begin another exciting chapter in the Club’s journey.
Supporters can follow the match across Durban City FC’s official digital platforms, with live updates and coverage from Seshego Stadium.
