The auction will take place on September 9 in Johannesburg.

Over 800 players, the highest ever in the tournament’s history, registered for the SA20 2026 auction, with the list trimmed to 541. Among them, 300 names are South African, while as many as 241 are overseas in a star-studded pool. The SA20 2026 auction will take place on September 9 in Johannesburg.

Teams have a total purse of R-41 million, the second-highest cap in a T20 franchise after IPL. Each franchise can sign as many as 18 players and one wildcard, which can be either a South African or an overseas player. Among the regular slots, teams can have 11 domestic and seven foreign cricketers.

Complete list of retained and pre-signed players ahead of SA20 2026 auction

Before the SA20 2026 auction, teams were allowed to sign as many as six retained or pre-signed players. They could have three domestic and as many overseas names. While some used all six slots, a few franchises decided to go with more purse in the auction.

Despite a mega auction, several notable retention and pre-signings bolstered six franchises. Among them are Sunil Narine and Jos Buttler, who were pre-signings by Durban’s Super Giants, while Heinrich Klaasen joined as a wildcard. Similarly, Joburg Super Kings retained Faf du Plessis, and Donovan Ferreira was their wildcard pick.

MI Cape Town decided to keep their core intact and will have the services of Ryan Rickelton, Rashid Khan, and Kagiso Rabada, among others. Lhuan-dre-Pretorius and David Miller remain with Paarl Royals, while Pretoria Capitals roped in Andre Russell as a wildcard pick. Sunrisers Eastern Cape retained Tristan Stubbs and included Marco Jansen as a wildcard, apart from signing Jonny Bairstow and a few others as pre-signings.

Below is a complete summary of retained and pre-signed players by six franchises. (* indicates overseas players)

Purse remaining for each franchise for SA20 2026 auction

Pretoria Capitals will have the most money to spend in the SA20 2026 auction. They kept only three players before the auction and will look to build a fairly fresh squad. They are followed by Durban’s Super Giants, who have done smart work.

They got quality players in the pre-signing window and still maintained a reasonable purse before the SA20 2026 auction. MI Cape Town will have the least purse (R11.5 million) since they exhausted most of it to retain the core. The total combined purse for the SA20 2026 auction stands at a whopping R131 million.

Team	Purse
Pretoria Capitals	R32.5 million
Durban’s Super Giants	R29.5 million
Joburg Super Kings	R21.5 million
Sunrisers Eastern Cape	R21.5 million
Paarl Royals	R14.5 million
MI Cape Town	R11.5 million

What is the U-23 Regulation?

The tournament has announced a U-23 regulation for the SA20 2026 auction. In this rule, all six teams must select at least two U-23 players in their squad. This is different from the Rookie Draft selections in the last two auctions.

During last year’s U-19 World Cup, numerous players from South Africa showcased their talent. Even in general, SA have a vast pool of young sensations making waves in the domestic arena. This rule will enable them to get more exposure at the best event possible.

The big names in this category are Dewald Brevis, who was with MI Cape Town last season, and Kwena Maphaka, who played for Paarl Royals. Steve Stolk, the U-19 star, will also be part of the list. Andile Simelane is another quality name.

Full list of players registered in SA20 2026 auction

The SA20 2026 auction will see big local and overseas names, given that numerous stars decided not to be retained ahead of the next season. Among South Africans, the likes of Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, Anrich Nortje, and Gerald Coetzee will be up for grabs. Meanwhile, foreign stars include Shakib Al Hasan, James Anderson, and Alex Hales.

What is the RTM rule for SA 2026?

In another first in the history of the tournament, the upcoming auction will also allow franchises to use the Right to Match (RTM) card. This enables them to retain a player from the last season by matching the highest bid received for that player during the auction. The number of RTM cards available to each team will depend on how many South African players they have retained pre-auction.

Let’s take a look at the team-wise number of RTMs available and the players who are eligible.

Pretoria Capitals (RTM – 3)	Joburg Super Kings (RTM – 1)	Durban Super Giants (RTM – 2)	Sunrisers Eastern Cape (RTM – 1)
Anrich Nortje	Gerald Coetzee	Matthew Breetzke	Aiden Markram
Eathan Bosch	Nandre Burger	Quinton de Kock	Ottniel Baartman
Rilee Rossouw	David Wiese	Keshav Maharaj	David Bedingham
Kyle Verreynne	Hardus Viljoen	Wiaan Mulder	Beyers Swanepoel
Senuran Muthuswamy	Tabraiz Shamsi	Dwaine Pretorius	Jordan Hermann
Tiaan Van Vuuren	Imran Tahir	Prenelan Subrayen	Patrick Kruger
Migael Pretorius	Sibonelo Makhanya	Bryce Parsons	Simon Harmer
Steve Stolk	Wihan Lubbe	Junior Dala	Caleb Seleka
Daryn Dupavillon	Evan Jones	Jon-Jon Smuts	Andile Simelane
Kyle Simmonds	JP King	Jason Smith	Okuhle Cele
Keagan Lion-Cachet	Lutho Sipamla	Heinrich Klaasen	Daniel Smith

Will Smeed	Maheesh Theekshana
Rahmanullah Gurbaz	Dougie Bracewell

Both local and overseas players have been added since it’s still unclear if RTMs can be used for only one category.
