Chippa United vs Sekhukhune United rescheduled after waterlogged pitch

The Betway Premiership clash between Chippa United and Sekhukhune United will now take place on Wednesday, 6 May 2026, at 13h00, after heavy rains left the Buffalo City Stadium pitch unplayable and forced an eleventh‑hour postponement.

Match officials made the call to abandon the original fixture in East London, prioritizing player safety as waterlogged conditions rendered the surface dangerous. The decision means both sides face a quick turnaround in the final stretch of the season, with the stakes higher than ever.

For Sekhukhune United, known as Babina Noko, the rescheduled encounter is crucial in their pursuit of a top‑four finish and a potential CAF competition spot. Meanwhile, the Chilli Boys of Chippa United remain desperate for points to secure their top‑flight survival, making this fixture a battle of ambition versus desperation.

Supporters who had already purchased tickets can breathe easy—all tickets for the original match remain valid for the new afternoon kickoff. With both teams under pressure and the season entering its decisive phase, Wednesday’s clash promises to deliver intensity and drama befitting the Premiership run‑in.
