The two domestic giants will meet in the traditional curtain-raiser before the league campaign officially begins. Gor Mahia, the reigning Kenyan Premier League champions, will look to start the season with silverware, while Tusker aim to claim the first trophy of the new campaign.
The Super Cup pits the previous season’s league winners against the winners of the FKF Cup (or the league runners-up if the same club claims both titles). The fixture is widely regarded as an early indicator of form and intensity ahead of the full league programme.
Both sides are expected to field strong squads as they prepare for what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter. Fans will be eager to see how the teams shape up after the off-season, with new signings and tactical adjustments likely to be on display.
The match on 23 August sets the tone for the season and offers the first opportunity for either club to lift silverware in the 2026/27 campaign.
