Kaizer Chiefs kicked off the new year hard at work, sharpening their preparation for a demanding schedule across the Betway Premiership, CAF Confederation Cup, and the Nedbank Cup.

Following the conclusion of AFCON, where Africa’s kings will be crowned on 18 January, Amakhosi will swiftly resume their 2025/26 campaign with a Betway Premiership clash against Lamontville Golden Arrows on Tuesday, 20 January at the FNB stadium.

On the continental stage, Chiefs will continue their CAF Confederation Cup journey, having played two matches late last year. Their campaign picks up on 25 January with an away fixture against Zesco United in Ndola, Zambia. The home fixture against Zesco will be hosted at the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban on 1 February, followed by another home tie against Al Masry of Egypt at the New Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane on 8 February. All these fixtures are scheduled to kick off at 3pm. The final group-stage encounter will see the Glamour Boys travel to Egypt to face Zamalek SC on 15 February.

Between their continental commitments, Chiefs will also contest crucial league and Nedbank Cup fixtures, leaving little room for rest as they strive to excel in all three competitions this season.
