The new football season is set to bring both spectators and viewers alike, all the thrills of the beautiful game while the inclusion of a new league sponsor, Betway, is set to offer South African football fans exciting innovations in their favourite football league, says SuperSport.

SuperSport will continue bringing viewers top-notch pre-game, half-time and post-match analysis from its expert pundits and legends, with the usual touch of midweek magazine programming, says the broadcaster.
 
The launch of SuperSport Unplugged will offer added value for our loyal viewers, who can stream content for free on SuperSport's YouTube channel. SuperSport Unplugged is a vodcast aimed at giving fans more content and creating more conversation around the sports and sports personalities they adore, says the broadcaster.
 
According to SuperSport, throughout the Betway Premiership, SuperSport.com will provide:

  • match reports
  • fixtures
  • results
  • live scores
  • logs, and
  • highlights. 

SuperSport says that its social media platforms will continue enticing fans with the greatest moments and content during the league season.

SuperSport's CEO Rendani Ramovha says, "As a broadcaster, this is an amazing story to tell. The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has once more proven itself to be one of the world’s most commercially attractive and enticing football leagues by partnering with Betway."
 
"We pride ourselves as the biggest funder of sports on the continent and, together with the PSL, Betway and the other PSL sponsors, we will continue creating the platforms for great football conversations," adds Ramovha. 
 
Announcing the Betway sponsorship, the PSL chairperson Dr Irvin Khoza says, "Talking about MultiChoice and SuperSport, this is one corporate citizen that I regard highly. During Covid, when we were in trouble… our sponsor and partner never asked for a refund for non-performance of what we promised them. They said we understand; count on us. I want to thank you for that. That's what partnerships are all about."
 
"Today we have our own channel on DStv (SuperSport PSL, 202). Anything we do to promote, produce, or project, we have that channel. We now have the Betway Premiership as the sponsor of the league," adds Khoza. 

The start date for local football is set for Saturday, 3 August with the MTN8. The Betway Premiership schedule is set for Saturday, 14 September. Prize money and the trophy will be revealed at a later stage, says the broadcaster.

According to SuperSport, the Betway Premiership is part of an exciting array of football in the new football season, including all local cups such as: 

  • the MTN8
  • the Carling Knockout, and
  • the Nedbank Cup.

Apart from this, SuperSport says that the DStv Diski Challenge, Motsepe Foundation Championship and the DStv eKasi Games will continue being a part of SuperSport's local football offering.

SuperSport concludes that other Leagues will also be live on SuperSport, including: 

  • the English Premier League

  • Italian Serie A
  • the UEFA Champions League, and
