Durban City staged a comeback to win the 2026 Nedbank Cup final 2-1 against TS Galaxy at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. The Citizens trailed at one point but overturned the deficit to secure their first title in the competition under their current name.
Defender Mfanafuthi Mkhize earned man of the match honours for his performance in the victory. The game was broadcast live on SABC 1.
This marked a significant achievement for Durban City, who last reached the final as Maritzburg United and lost to the now-defunct Free State Stars in Cape Town. TS Galaxy sought a second Nedbank Cup triumph after their 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in 2019 while in a lower league.
