The Carling Black Label Cup is a one-day pre-season football match between Soweto rivals, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa.

Unlike the annual Telkom Charity Cup which had four entrants and the semi-final winners would play twice in one day, the Black Label Cup has only two participating teams. The teams and line-ups are chosen by Carling Black Label customers who submit an eleven-digit code which is found on Carling products and have their vote registered.[1] Customers also choose which substitutions to make in-game by voting via text message.

In June 2011, South African football magazine Kick-Off conducted an interview with Carling Black Label general manager Andrea Quaye.[2] Quaye stated that the Black Label Cup had been in the planning stages in 2010, one year prior to the announcement of the cancellation of the Charity Cup. She also stated that the competition was established by Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Ogilvy & Mather.

The 2018 edition was cancelled due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[3]

The 2020 edition was also cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic
