The 2025/2026 Betway Premiership title will be decided on the last weekend of the season.
With the advantage of playing at home, Orlando Pirates failed to capitalise and secure their first title in 14 years after they were held to a goalless draw by Durban City at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

The Buccaneers tried their best against an ultra-defensive Durban City and had close to 20 shots at goal with five of them on target.

The KwaZulu-Natal outfit did not have a single attempt at goal.
The result means Pirates still trail defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, by two points and need to beat Orbit College away next weekend to dethrone the Brazilians.
Sundowns have completed their league fixtures for the season.
