The 2026 Nedbank Cup final is set to take place at the new Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, Limpopo Province, on Saturday, May 2, with TS Galaxy facing off against Durban City. This will be the second time a domestic cup final is held at the World Cup venue this season, following the Carling Knockout final won by Orlando Pirates against Marumo Gallants.
TS Galaxy are considered favourites for the Ke Yona showdown, having previously won the tournament in 2019 as a lower-division side. They defeated Kaizer Chiefs in the final, becoming the first team to achieve this feat. Although much of the Galaxy squad and coaching personnel have changed since then, they still have assistant coach Bernard Parker, who was part of the Chiefs side that lost that final.
Nedbank Cup History
Durban City, on the other hand, have already made history by reaching the final in their debut campaign in the top flight. They are currently sixth on the log with 35 points, seven ahead of eighth-placed Golden Arrows. Reaching the final has capped an impressive return to the elite league for the Citizens.
Both teams will be eager to lift the trophy and secure a place in the CAF Confederation Cup next season. The PSL is set to announce the kick-off time in due course. As the teams prepare for the final, they will be drawing on their past experiences and strengths to gain an edge over their opponents.
Previous Encounters
TS Galaxy have had a mixed season, losing seven games and drawing one in their last eight league matches. However, they have a proven track record in the Nedbank Cup, having won the tournament in 2019. Durban City, meanwhile, have been performing well in the league, but will need to bring their A-game if they are to overcome the favourites.
