The competition forms part of Cricket South Africa's revamped domestic cricket structure for the 2026–27 season.
History The Pro20 Cup was introduced for the 2026–27 season as part of Cricket South Africa's restructuring of domestic cricket. The competition was created through the merger of the T20 Challenge and T20 Knockout competitions, replacing the CSA T20 Challenge as South Africa's premier men's domestic Twenty20 competition.
The new competition brought teams from the previous domestic T20 structure together under a single tournament. The Tournament sponsored by YesPlay.
Format In August 2026, the CSA announced a new format for the tournament. The 16 teams will be divided into two groups of eight each. In the group stage, each team will play each of the other teams in the group once in a round-robin format. The top four teams in each group will advance to the Super 8 stage, where the 8 teams will be divided into two groups of four teams each, and play a second round of round-robin matches.
The top two teams from each Super 8 group will advance to the knockout stage, which consists of two semi-finals and the final.
