The 2007–08 South African Premiership, known as the ABSA Premiership for sponsorship purposes, and also commonly referred to as the PSL after the governing body, was the twelfth season of the Premiership since its establishment in 1996.
It was won by Supersport United, their first league title.
Team changes Silver Stars, runners-up in the previous season, were sponsored by the Royal Bafokeng Nation, and were renamed Platinum Stars, moving to the Royal Bafokeng Stadium near Rustenburg, while Benoni United sold their franchise to Thanda Zulu Royal, located in Durban.
Maritzburg United were relegated at the end of the 2006–07 season, and replaced by 2006–07 National First Division champions Free State Stars.
Sponsorship The league was renamed the ABSA Premiership after a R500-million sponsorship deal with banking group ABSA.
