The showpiece is scheduled to begin at 6pm, with the Premier Soccer League confirming the iconic venue for the season-ending clash.
The occasion will also mark the 10th MTN8 final staged at Moses Mabhida Stadium, giving it the record for hosting the most finals in the competition's history.
Supporters will be able to secure their seats from Friday, October 2, with online sales opening at 10am. General Access tickets will cost R150 each and will be sold exclusively through opentickets.co.za.

The broader project was estimated by the eThekwini Municipality to cost R284 million. Work has also been carried out on the stadium's playing surface, with the pitch rehabilitation forming part of wider efforts to bring the facility back to international standards.
