Bafana Bafana can get within touching distance of AFCON 2027 this weekend.

South Africa host Kenya on Friday in the first of two clashes in their qualifying group.

Here’s where to watch the game on TV on Friday if you’re not watching live.

South Africa not taking Kenya lightly

Pitso Mosimane’s boys welcome Kenya to the Orlando Stadium on Friday, 13 November.

SAFA has confirmed the kick-off time as 18:00.

The return leg will be played in Nairobi on 17 November, according to SABC News.

Bafana Bafana held their first training session at Milpark Stadium on Monday evening (9 November).

Several players currently stationed abroad have yet to report to the team’s camp.

Mosimane has already cautioned that Kenya are somewhat unpredictable due to their current struggles.

“Be very careful when you are playing against an emotional team, especially when they have got nothing to lose.”

Bafana Bafana vs Kenya: Who will broadcast the game?

SABC 3 confirmed on Facebook that it would show the game live on Friday.

The match will be available for streaming on the SABC Plus website as well.

DStv will also broadcast the game via the SuperSport PSL channel (202) and its Maximo offerings.

In Kenya, viewers should be able to access the match through several platforms.

The Kenya Times previously listed SuperSport, Canal+, New World TV, and Azam TV as holding broadcasting rights for the AFCON 2027 qualifiers.

What’s at stake for South Africa?

Bafana Bafana are leading their qualification group with six points from two games so far.

Guinea are second on three points, having lost their game against South Africa.

Kenya, coached by Benni McCarthy, are third and lead Eritrea on goal difference.

However, the Harambee Stars are already through to the main AFCON 2027 tournament as co-hosts.

Next year’s edition will be hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

This means that Bafana, Guinea, and Eritrea are battling for one spot in their qualifying pool.

A win over Kenya, coupled with Guinea losing or drawing, would effectively see South Africa secure that place.
