Scottland, Dynamos Handed Tricky Openers In 2026 PSL Draw

The Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) has released the fixtures for the 2026 season, with the opening round of matches scheduled to take place between 6 and 8 March 2026.

Reigning champions Scottland will begin the defence of their title away to newly promoted Hardrock. The match will mark a first PSL outing for Norman Mapeza in charge of Mabviravira, while Zambian coach Kelvin Kaindu will also be making his top-flight debut at the helm of Hardrock.

Ngezi Platinum Stars are set to host fellow platinum miners FC Platinum in what promises to be a closely fought encounter, while another new side, FC Hunters, will open their campaign at home against MWOS.

CAPS United, now under the guidance of former Ngezi Platinum Stars coach Takesure Chiragwi, will host newcomers Agama. Elsewhere, Herentals College face Chicken Inn in a meeting of two established PSL sides.

Triangle United will entertain ZPC Kariba, Manica Diamonds welcome Simba Bhora, and league heavyweights Dynamos travel to face TelOne.

The opening round will also feature the first Bulawayo derby of the season, with Highlanders hosting Bulawayo Chiefs at Barbourfields Stadium.
