The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has announced the dates, times and venues for the 2017 MTN8.
Next Friday’s fixture will signal the start of the first official game of the 2017/18 football season.
MTN8 champions Bidvest Wits will kick off proceedings when they face Lamontville Golden Arrows at the Bidvest Stadium at 8pm.
Bidvest Wits won the trophy following that emphatic victory against Mamelodi Sundowns at Mbombela Stadium last year. This was the first time the ‘Clever Boys’ lifted the trophy.

At 8.15pm, Kaizer Chiefs will be at home against SuperSport United at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
On Sunday, August 13, there will be one fixture between last year’s runner-ups, Mamelodi Sundowns and Maritzburg United.
