The 10 teams that fail to go past the group stages will each receive US$7 000.
According to the 2021 Chibuku Super Cup rules and regulations, the Premier Soccer League must pay the prize money within seven days after the end of each stage of the tournament.
Each team will be allowed a minimum of five and maximum of 12 substitutes on the bench, but a maximum of five substitutes may be used during a match.

If Highlanders win the tournament this year, they will become the first team to successfully defend the Chibuku Super Cup since its return in 2014.
