On Wednesday, July 9, South African cricket released the fixtures for the upcoming edition of SA20. For the first time, Proteas' premier T20 league will take place in December instead of the usual January-February window.

The fourth season of SA20 will kickstart from December 26 till January 25, with the defending champions MI Cape Town taking on Durban's Super Giants at the picturesque Newlands. Interestingly, the new season will start on Boxing Day, thus fans are expected in high numbers as it will be the festive season in the Rainbow Nation. 

Finalists Sunrisers Eastern Cape will start their campaign by taking on Paarl Royals. Meanwhile, Johannesburg Super Kings will square off against Pretoria Capitals in the second match of the tournament. Here is the complete list.

Why Is SA20 Season 4 Taking Place In December?

It is the first time in history that the SA20 will take place in December, overlapping with Australia's premier T20 league Big Bash League. However, the reason behind the change is T2 World Cup 2026 in February. Thus, the players required adequate rest. 

League commissioner Graeme Smith confirmed that the SA20 will return to its original January window from 2027 edition.

"Confirming the Betway SA20 window for a three-year period allows the League to bring certainty to all stakeholders and assists in securing our place when planning the global calendar," Smith remarked.


"We know fans respond particularly well to weekend and holiday fixtures and with the ICC T20 World Cup in early February next year, our Season 4 dates provide the unique opportunity to capitalise on South Africa’s peak cricket season and key public holidays," he added.

SA20 Season 4 Winner To Play World Club Championship

Next year, there are reports that the BCCI and ECB will launch the Champions League T20 reboot in 2026. The plan is to launch the much-awaited league with six teams.

SA20 winners are one of the franchise taking part in the tournament, thus the winners of the upcoming season will take part in World Club Championship.
