Carling Knockout Cup 2026: Fans Could Win R10,000
Carling Black Label has launched the 2026 Carling Knockout Cup campaign, giving football fans the chance to put their knowledge of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to the test through predictions, fan voting and prize competitions.
The fourth edition of the tournament under Carling Black Label’s sponsorship was officially launched on 14 October 2026. The competition has reached the Last 16 stage, with fixture dates still to be announced by the PSL.
Carling introduces the Champion Coach Experience
The 2026 campaign puts fans at the centre of the action through the Champion Coach Experience, an interactive competition that challenges supporters to predict the starting line-ups for both teams in each fixture.
Fans can enter using a unique code found inside participating promotional Carling Black Label packs. More accurate predictions can earn instant prizes and help participants climb the leaderboard for a chance to win the Champion Coach Experience at the tournament final.
The activation draws on the familiar habit of supporters debating team selections, formations and tactical decisions before matches.
According to Kerryn Greanleaf, Carling Black Label Brand Director, the campaign is designed to give supporters a greater voice and recognise their football knowledge.
Fans could win R10,000
Supporters will also have the opportunity to vote for the Carling Knockout Cup Champion of the Match during each game.
One lucky fan who correctly predicts the Man of the Match could win R10,000. Participation requirements and eligibility are subject to the competition’s terms and conditions.
Fans can follow Carling Black Label’s official social media channels for updates on fixtures, participation instructions and Champion of the Match voting.
Carling continues its #NoExcuse campaign
Alongside the football competition, Carling Black Label says its #NoExcuse platform will continue to promote positive masculinity and challenge gender-based violence.
The initiative, active since 2017, includes campaigns such as The Real Injury Time, which addresses harmful behaviour and perceptions of masculinity, and Champions for Change, which encourages men to take positive action.
People seeking confidential support and guidance can WhatsApp “Brave” to 0800 150 150 through the #NoExcuse BRAVE WhatsApp Line.
