The 16 Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs, eight National First Division (NFD) teams, as well as eight teams from the amateur ranks entered the main draw of 32 teams. The PSL teams entered the main draw automatically, while the NFD clubs needed to play a single qualifier against other NFD clubs. The amateur teams go through a series of qualifiers to enter the main draw.

From the round of 32 onwards, teams were not seeded, and the first sides drawn received home-ground advantage. There were no replays, and games which ended in a draw after 90 minutes were subject to 30 minutes extra time followed by penalties if necessary.

The Nedbank Cup winners Mamelodi Sundowns already qualified for Champions League through the ABSA Premiership, therefore the spot was given to the runner up Bloemfontein Celtic.
