Due to South Africa's international commitment, the highly anticipated T20 league will be suspended from January 25 to February 01 to make room for a three-match ODI series against England (ENG). The bilateral limited-overs series between SA and  ENG was abandoned in 2020 due to the COVID outbreak and has now been rescheduled for 2023. Once the England tour of South Africa concludes on February 01, the SA20 2023 league will resume again. The final of the top-tier league will be played on February 11 at Wanderers to ultimately fetch the winner of the first season of SA20.
