The tournament is set to run from December 26, 2025, to January 25, 2026.

The SA20 2026 auction will take place in Johannesburg on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, as teams prepare for the fourth season of South Africa’s top T20 league. The tournament is set to run from December 26, 2025, to January 25, 2026.

Ahead of the auction, all six franchises have confirmed their retentions and pre-signings, leaving 84 player slots to be filled. Each squad will have 19 players, including a Wildcard, with a maximum of seven overseas and at least 11 South African players. Teams are also required to include a minimum of two Under-23 players in their final squad.

This season introduces a major change with the use of Right to Match (RTM) cards, allowing teams to buy back players who represented them in Season 3 by matching the highest bid.

Sagar Paul

As a passionate cricket fan I have been watching the game for over 20 years, and it has been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. From childhood, I enjoyed following matches and players, and over time that passion only grew stronger. What began as admiration for the sport slowly turned into a deeper connection, where I found joy in expressing my thoughts through writing. For me, writing about cricket feels natural. It doesn’t feel like work, but rather a reflection of the love I have for the game that has always been close to my heart.
