MTN8 winners for the 2025-26 season will be R2 million richer after the sponsors increased the prize money.
MTN has sponsored the Premier League’s Top 8 tournament since 2008 with winners walking away with R8 million in prize money.
Kaizer Chiefs were the first to win the first edition of the MTN8 by beating Mamelodi Sundowns in the final.
However, they have not won it since 2014, with arch-rivals Orlando Pirates dominating in the last three seasons.
Pirates, having lifted the trophy for three consecutive seasons, will have the MTN8 champions crest on their jersey this coming season.
Furthermore, there will be a donation to a charity of R20 000 for every goal scored during the tournament.
MTN8 PRIZE MONEY INCREASED TO R10 MILLION
