CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two 2026

South Africa's domestic one-day competition, the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two 2026, is back with another exciting edition. The tournament will commence on February 21, 2026, with eight teams competing in a round-robin format. Each team will play the other once, and the top two teams at the end of the league stage will advance to the final. Winners will be determined based on points, with top-performing teams awarded bonus points.

Eight teams are participating in the competition: Border, Easterns, Knights, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, South Western Districts, and South Africa Emerging Players. The league's round-robin format ensures that players who perform consistently throughout the tournament are rewarded. It is a key stage in South African domestic cricket, providing a platform for players outside the top division to compete at a higher level. The tournament also offers a direct promotion route, with the best-performing teams competing for a place in Division One.
