The Western Cape outfit begin their campaign with a fixture at home against Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday, a team they have only ever defeated once in league fixtures.
Stellies then travel to Limpopo to face a tricky Magesi side before going to face Orlando Pirates in Soweto, a fixture that will see Bucs new midfielder Sihle Nduli face his previous employers for the first time.
The team will end the month of August with a home fixture against Marumo Gallants, who Stellenbosch completed the double over during the 2024/25 season, before facing defending league champions Mamelodi Sundowns and former captain Fawaaz Basadien.
The Maroons also parted ways with defender Ismael Toure, winger Anicet Oura and young centre-back Tylon Smith, who all moved to join new teams abroad.
However, Stellies have made four new signings including the 2024/25 Motsepe Foundation Champions top scorer Muzomuhle Khanyi, and have also boosted the side by promoting a few youngsters.
Coach Steve Barker was full of optimism for the 2025/26 season following his sides impressive 3-2 win against Amazulu in their MTN8 quarter final, with Sanele Barns starring with a brace.
"A lot of things that you are never really 100% sure of, first game of the season, where you at and what you need to do," said Barker after the match.
"It was good for us to get a competitive game like we did today to just see where we are and obviously next week a big-league match is coming up."
