This final marks a historic moment as both coaches aim for their first major trophy, with Parker seeking to become the first to lift the Nedbank Cup as both player and coach. The match will take place on April 30, 2026, at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
Durban City will face TS Galaxy in the 2026 Nedbank Cup final. This is the second time the Peter Mokaba Stadium has hosted this prestigious event. Both teams are appearing in their second Nedbank Cup final.
Earlier in the tournament, TS Galaxy conceded their first goal of the campaign during the semi-final against Milford FC. Notably, only one Nedbank Cup final has gone to penalties — that occurred in 2015 between Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town.
The last four Nedbank Cup finals have all ended with 2-1 scorelines. This year’s final will also mark the fifth time since 2008 that neither Kaizer Chiefs nor Orlando Pirates nor Mamelodi Sundowns will feature.
