The '''South African Premiership''', also known as the '''[[Betway]] Premiership''' for sponsorship reasons, and commonly referred to as the [[Premier Soccer League|PSL]] after its governing body,<ref>{{cite web|date=13 November 2010|title=NSL Constitution|url=http://images.supersport.com/NSL%20Constitution%20as%20amended%2013%20November%202010.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120803231853/http://images.supersport.com/NSL%20Constitution%20as%20amended%2013%20November%202010.pdf|archive-date=3 August 2012|website=[[SuperSport (South African broadcaster)|SuperSport]]|access-date=23 January 2013}}</ref> is a professional [[Association football|soccer]] league in [[South Africa]] and the highest level of the [[Soccer in South Africa|South African soccer league system]]. It has been organised since 1996.

The [[2024–25 South African Premiership|2024–25 season]] started on 14 September 2024, [[Mamelodi Sundowns F.C.|Mamelodi Sundowns]] successfully defended the title in 2025 which they've held continuously since the [[2017–18 South African Premiership|2017–18 season]].

==History==
{{See|National Football League (South Africa)}}
The league was founded in 1996 after an agreement between the [[National Soccer League (South Africa)|National Soccer League]] and the remnants of the [[National Professional Soccer League (South Africa)|National Professional Soccer League]]. The former name still exists today for legal purposes, with the [[Premier Soccer League]] being the [[trade name]] of the new league administrator.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Premier Soccer League - www.psl.co.za - official website|url=http://www.psl.co.za/content/5488|website=Premier Soccer League |access-date=14 September 2025}}</ref>

{{main|Ellis Park Stadium disaster}}

The league was reduced from 18 to 16 teams after the end of the 2001–02 season to avoid fixture congestion, causing the disbandment of two teams; [[Ria Stars F.C.|Ria Stars]] and [[Free State Stars F.C.|Free State Stars]], though the latter was reformed and competing as of the 2020–21 season. In 2004, a match-fixing scandal rocked the soccer landscape in South Africa. An investigation codenamed "Operation Dribble" was launched by the [[police]] system of South Africa police in June 2004. More than 40 arrests were made, ranging from club bosses to match commissioners, referees and their assistants. [[Kaizer Chiefs F.C.|Kaizer Chiefs]] successfully defended their league title in 2005 after they won the prestigious trophy in 2004 for the first time in a decade. The 2005–06 season saw [[Mamelodi Sundowns F.C.|Mamelodi Sundowns]] capturing the title for a fourth time. Since the 2017–18 season, they have dominated the league, winning seven consecutive titles.

In 2007, the PSL signed a television deal with [[SuperSport (South African broadcaster)|SuperSport]] worth R 1.6 billion, which was the biggest sporting deal in the history of the country and ranked the league into the top 15 in the world in terms of commercial broadcast deals. In the same year, [[Absa Group Limited|ABSA]] replaced [[Castle Lager]] as the title sponsor, with the latter having sponsored the league since its inception. [[SuperSport United F.C.|SuperSport United]] won 3 league titles in a row between 2008 and 2010.

As of 2025, the league is rated third in Africa according to the [[CAF 5-year ranking]] system.

For the 2018–19 season, the PSL gives each club a monthly grant of R 2 million, with funds coming from the television broadcasting rights and national sponsorships, with the league champion earning R 10 million.

In 2019, ABSA increased their sponsorship deal to the PSL to R 39.9 million,<ref>{{Cite web|date=26 June 2019|title=PSL announce nearly R40m in prize money for new season|url=https://www.sport24.co.za/Soccer/PSL/psl-announce-nearly-r40m-in-prize-money-for-new-season-20190626|access-date=4 June 2020|website=Sport24}}</ref> which meant that the league winners would secure R 15 million. ABSA would however announce its cancellation of its sponsorship with the PSL a year later on 4 June 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|date=4 June 2020|title=ABSA cancels PSL league sponsorship after 13 years|url=http://blog.teemspot.co.za/2020/06/absa-cancels-psl-league-sponsorship.html|website=TeemSpot|access-date=10 June 2020}}</ref>

On 24 September 2020, ''DStv'' were announced as the new sponsor, with the league being rebranded as the '''DStv Premiership'''.<ref name="DStvPrem">{{Cite web|date=24 September 2020|title=PSL set to announce DStv as Premiership sponsor|url=https://www.timeslive.co.za/sport/soccer/2020-09-24-psl-set-to-announce-dstv-as-premiership-sponsor/|access-date=24 September 2020|website=TimesLIVE|language=en-ZA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=24 September 2020|title=PSL announces DStv as new Premiership sponsors|url=https://www.kickoff.com/news/articles/south-africa-news/categories/news/premiership/psl-announces-dstv-as-new-premiership-sponsors/686103|website=Kick Off|access-date=24 September 2020}}</ref> MultiChoice also announced that [[Showmax]] would replace ''DStv'' as the [[kit (association football)|jersey]] [[sponsor (commercial)|sponsor]] of SuperSport United F.C. so the latter would be independent to sponsor the league outright.<ref name="DStvPrem" />

On the 24th of July 2024, it was announced that [[Betway]] would be sponsoring the league, with [[DStv]]'s contract ending a year early due to [[MultiChoice]]'s financial troubles. This is one of the biggest sponsorships in South African football history worth R900-Million for the term of 3 years.<ref name="Ngidi">{{Cite web |last=Ngidi |first=Njabulo |title=Betway bets on PSL with R900 million sponsorship: 'We don't chase away anybody,' says Khoza |url=https://www.news24.com/sport/soccer/psl/betway-bets-on-psl-with-r900-million-sponsorship-we-dont-chase-away-anybody-says-khoza-20240724 |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Sport |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Sponsorship==
The league has had [[sponsor (commercial)|title sponsorships]] since its inception. Like the [[EFL League One]] and the [[Premier League]] divisions in England, the league takes its title sponsor's name to determine its official common name:

* 1996–2007: [[Castle Lager]] (Castle Premiership)
* 2007–2020: [[Absa Group Limited|ABSA]] (ABSA Premiership)
* 2020–2024: [[DStv]] (DStv Premiership)
* 2024–present: [[Betway]] (Betway Premiership)<ref name="Ngidi"/>

==Format==
As of [[2024–25 South African Premiership|the 2024–25 season]], the league is composed of 16 teams competing from August to May each season, similar to the format of most [[Football in Europe|European football leagues]]. Each team plays the other teams twice in a [[round-robin tournament|double round-robin]] format using the [[three points for a win]] system.

At the conclusion of each season, the champion and runner-up of the Premiership qualify for the [[CAF Champions League]], while the 3rd-place team and the [[Nedbank Cup]] champions qualify for the [[CAF Confederation Cup]]. The bottom team in the league is automatically relegated and replaced by the winner of the Motsepe Foundation Championship, whiles the team finishing immediately above the bottom team enters a mini-league playoff series with the 2nd and 3rd-placed league-finished teams of the [[National First Division]], with the playoff winners earning their place in the Premiership for the following season.

==Broadcasting==
The league's broadcaster is [[SuperSport (South African broadcaster)|SuperSport]], who in turn sub-leases the broadcasting rights to the [[SABC]], so as to broadcast some matches on public television in South Africa. SuperSport was awarded an initial $277 million 5-year broadcast/TV rights deal in 2007 by the [[Premier Soccer League]] to help commercialize the league globally beyond South Africa.<ref>{{cite web|date=31 August 2022|title=SuperSport acquires TV rights to SA football league|url=https://www.balancingact-africa.com/news/broadcast-en/22859/supersport-acquires-tv-rights-to-sa-football-league|website=Balancing Act Africa|access-date=23 August 2019}}</ref> matches on sunset times between Tuesdays and Fridays and on weekends whereas the SABC telecast matches played on Wednesday nights and on weekends.

Since 2016, as SuperSport is a brand owned by [[MultiChoice|the MultiChoice Group]], the league is available to watch live and [[video on demand|on demand]] via their specified services; [[DStv|the DStv App]] (formerly ''DStv Mobile'' and ''DStv Now'') and [[showmax|Showmax Pro]]. Both are accessible via the DStv website for [[personal computer|PC]] and [[macintosh|Mac]] and as [[mobile app]]s on [[android (operating system)|Android]] and [[iOS]]/[[iPadOS]] for [[mobile phone]]s, [[tablet computer|tablets]] and [[Smart TV]]s.
