Eastern Province and the Valke will open the 2026 SA Cup season at 17h00 on Friday 6 March at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha. EP – coached by former Springbok head coach Allister Coetzee – will look to build on a 2025 campaign that saw them win four of their nine matches and push opponents close in several of their defeats.
JP Immelman’s Valke, meanwhile, will be targeting an improved finish after ending fifth in last year’s SA Cup, two points shy of Boland in fourth and just missing out on a place in the Currie Cup Premier Division.
