The Brazilians still have six league games to play as they seek to lift their eighth consecutive league title.
Miguel Cardoso’s men are at Loftus on Wednesday evening (19:30) against Richards Bay FC (April 30), after which they travel to Cape Town City (May 3).
From there, the PSL has fixtured them to play Chippa United on May 7 at Loftus and Stellenbosch FC on May 11 – also at Loftus.
The two games were postponed earlier in the season but have now been squeezed either side of the Nedbank Cup final as per the latest fixtures list by the League.
After the two updated matches in Pretoria, Sundowns will remain at home for the game against Magesi FC (May 17).
The season-ending game against Chippa United (May 24) is pending as it will have to make way for the first leg of the Champions League final against Pyramids FC being played on the same day.
Sundowns will then travel to Cairo for the second leg on June 1.
From there, June 2-10 is reserved for international football as a FIFA date with the Tshwane giants then traveling to USA for the FIFA Club World Cup to run from June 14 – July 13.

What is of significance about the last day of the season is that it is when the champions are handed the trophy.
Should the Chloorkop-based side be champions, then that is expected to happen on May 24 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, but it will not be happening as that date clashes with the Champions League final first leg.
