Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will not take on each other in the league until November, but for Mamelodi Sundowns, this is expected to be a taxing season with a clash against neighbours SuperSport United on the menu in the opening week of the campaign.
Pitso Mosimane's men won back-to-back PSL titles in the past two seasons, emulating the Buccaneers, who were crowned champions in two successive seasons between 2011 and 2012 under the current sponsors.
The two teams, Pirates and Sundowns, will only meet in the league in January 2020.
