Stellenbosch FC will get their 2026 Nedbank Cup campaign underway early next month when they host the defending champions Kaizer Chiefs in a highly anticipated Round of 32 clash.

Stellies have been drawn as the home team for the tie, which is scheduled to take place between 4 and 8 February, with final fixture details to be confirmed in due course.

The clash will be the third meeting between the two sides this season, with the team from the Cape Winelands emerging victorious in the most recent encounter, knocking Amakhosi out of the Carling Knockout in October.

Stellenbosch FC will be aiming to build on their strong recent record in the competition, having reached the quarter-finals last season and the semi-finals in each of the two campaigns prior.
