The final will be played on Saturday, 7 October 2023. Pirates will be the home team in this final.

To add to that, the winner of this season’s tournament will get to lift a new MTN8 trophy for the first time ever. 

This comes after MTN brand manager Nomsa Chabeli announced that there will be a new-look trophy this season. This was confirmed last year in November ahead of the MTN8 final between Pirates and AmaZulu.

Pirates got to keep the old trophy as they defeated Usuthu 1-0 in a sold-out affair at Moses Mabhida Stadium. 

The decision came after the MTN and the Premier Soccer League decided that they were going to retire the trophy. This is after MTN has been the sponsor for the past 14 years.

Pirates would like to defend their title as they have won four titles of the tournament since the telecommunications company took over as sponsors in 2008.
