2023 Carling Knockout Cup

The 2023 Carling Knockout Cup is the first season of the South African association football competition, the Carling Knockout Cup, under its new sponsored name. It is organised by the Premier Soccer League and Carling and runs from 21 October 2023 to 16 December 2023.

This competition replaces the Telkom knockout. Because this competition is sponsored by Carling Black Label, the Carling Black Label Cup will be merged with this competition and will be played by 16 teams instead of only 4. There will be 2 trophies up for grabs, the second being the Carling Cup Match, an All-Stars match played on 6 January 2024.
