The 2024–25 South African Premiership is the 29th consecutive season of the South African Premiership. It is known as the Betway Premiership for sponsorship reasons, after the premature end of the sponsorship from the league's previous sponsor, DSTV, and also commonly referred to as the PSL after the governing body.[1] The season runs from 14 September 2024 and will conclude in May 2025. Mamelodi Sundowns are defending champions and are defending their title after winning it for seven consecutive seasons starting from the 2017-18 season.
