Follow UsSA20’s season 3 will begin with the two-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape taking on MI Cape Town in a home fixture at St George’s Park in Gqeberha. The tournament begins on January 9 with the final scheduled to take place on February 8 at Johannesburg's Wanderers Stadium.
The Wanderers hosted the final in the inaugural season in 2023 after which the second season’s final took place at the Newlands in Cape Town. The Wanderers has a bigger seating capacity than Newlands which could be one of the reasons behind the switch back to the Johannesburg-based venue.
The SuperSport Park in Centurion is awarded the eliminator and the second qualifier on consecutive days, making it the first time in the tournament's short history that Centurion will host a playoff game.
