Chiefs Confirm Shock Fixture Change: AmaZulu Clash Postponed As Local Elections Disrupt PSL Schedule

Kaizer Chiefs supporters will have to wait a little longer to see their team take on AmaZulu after the club officially confirmed that their scheduled Betway Premiership encounter on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, has been postponed.

The announcement was made on Wednesday, 28 October, with Amakhosi explaining that the decision was linked to South Africa’s upcoming local government elections, which will take place on the same day.

The fixture was originally scheduled to be played at FNB Stadium, with kick-off set for 19:30. However, the election-day arrangements have resulted in a change to the Premier Soccer League calendar, affecting all seven league matches scheduled for that Wednesday.

In its official communication, Kaizer Chiefs informed supporters that the postponement was not limited to their encounter against AmaZulu.

“Kaizer Chiefs would like to inform supporters that due to the upcoming local government elections, our scheduled league home match against AmaZulu, along with all other PSL fixtures set for Wednesday, 4 November, has been postponed,” the club announced.

The development means that supporters will have to wait for the PSL to confirm a new date before making plans to attend the match.

Although Chiefs have confirmed the postponement, the replacement date has not yet been announced.

The club explained that the Premier Soccer League will communicate the revised dates for the affected fixtures. Chiefs also promised to share the confirmed information with the Amakhosi Faithful once the details become available.

This means supporters should avoid relying on the original fixture date when making arrangements for the match.

The other six postponed encounters are Siwelele versus Orlando Pirates, Chippa United against Sekhukhune United, Golden Arrows versus Marumo Gallants, Polokwane City against Kruger United, Richards Bay versus Stellenbosch FC and TS Galaxy against Durban City.

Chiefs Turn Attention To Their Next Challenge

While the postponement changes their immediate league schedule, Kaizer Chiefs have other important commitments to prepare for.

The Soweto giants recently secured their place in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals after producing an impressive 3-0 victory over TS Galaxy at FNB Stadium.

Wandile Duba was the star of the evening, scoring all three goals in a memorable performance that gave the Amakhosi supporters plenty to celebrate.

Chiefs will now face Siwelele FC in the quarter-finals, giving Fernando Da Cruz and his technical team another opportunity to guide the club towards silverware.

The postponement also provides additional time for the coaching staff to manage preparations, although the eventual rescheduled date will determine how the fixture fits into their wider programme.
