The 2023–24 Nedbank Cup was the 2023–24 edition of South Africa's premier knockout club football (soccer) competition, the Nedbank Cup. It was the 52nd season of the competition, and 17th under its current sponsor.[1]
It was won by defending champions Orlando Pirates, who defeated Mamelodi Sundowns 2–1 in the final. Since both teams qualified for the 2024–25 CAF Champions League through their league position, the cup didn't grant any continental qualification, and the final slot for the 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup was taken by the fourth-placed team in the league, Sekhukhune United.
Participating teams
Teams
After a preliminary round featuring eight games between teams from the National First Division and eight games from the SAFA Second Division, the 16 winners joined the 16 teams from the Premiership to enter the main draw.[2]
Preliminary round
SAFA Second Division team Crystal Lake FC qualified after defeating Middleburg United 1–0 in the preliminary round. However, Middleburg appealed, claiming that Crystal Lake's physio was incorrectly listed on their teamsheet. Middleburg's appeal was dismissed, and Crystal Lake went through to the main draw.[3]
