Who are Richards Bay?
Richards Bay play in the Betway Premiership, the top tier of South African football. The league’s own site, psl.co.za, lists the club among the 16 sides competing in 2026/27. API-Football does not give a founding year for the club, so we have left one out rather than guess. The club is based in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal.
The club was in the top flight last season as well, finishing eleventh on 34 points. Therefore the current campaign is a chance to build on that record rather than start from scratch.
Where do Richards Bay play their home games?
The 2026/27 fixture data lists Durban venues for most of the club’s home league matches, chiefly King Zwelithini Stadium, with a few games at the Umhlathuze Sports Stadium in Richards Bay itself. The league’s own fixture list shows Princess Magogo Stadium, so confirm the ground before you travel.
How are Richards Bay doing in the 2026/27 Betway Premiership?
Richards Bay are fourteenth in the table as of 26 September 2026, with 3 points from 7 matches. That leaves them 17 points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have played 8. Overall, that keeps them in the bottom four.
Their record reads 0 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, with 9 goals scored and 16 conceded (goal difference -7). In other words, they are collecting 0.43 points per game. For comparison, that pace is below their 2025/26 average of 1.13.
Every club plays 30 league matches, 15 at home and 15 away. With 7 played, Richards Bay have completed 23% of their season, so there is still a long way to go. However, the early table already shows who has started fast.
The split by venue tells a similar story. At home they have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 3. Away from home, however, they have won 0, drawn 2 and lost 1.
What were the last five league results?
Here are the most recent league matches, oldest first:

- lost 1-5 away to Milford FC on 13 September 2026
- lost 2-3 at home to Sekhukhune United on 19 September 2026
Overall, 3 defeats from the last five is a worry and needs fixing quickly.
