Building on Success: Canada Super 60 League Announces 2026 Season
By: RF Hobson
Cricket Canada will continue its successful Super 60 League for 2026 after positive feedback from fans and players during its inaugural event last year.
Teams play a turbo-charged T10 format where each side has 60 balls available to them instead of 120 balls under the more globally popular T20 format. The 2026 season will run from September 29-October 4, with matches being played at BC Palace Stadium in Vancouver, a hub for cricket in the Associate nation.
League partner Yuvraj Singh said he is keen to see the league grown and expand in North America. “After the success of last year’s season... we are even more eager to establish Canada Super 60 as a marquee event in the global cricket calendar,” said Yuvraj, the India cricket legend.
“It is a league that not only entertains but also creates meaningful opportunities for young cricketers, both men and women, from Canada to rub shoulders with some of the game’s greats.”
Cricket Canada president Amjad Bajwa said initiatives like the Super 60 league play a vital role in developing the next generation of Canadian cricketers. “The league is not only about world class competition but also creating pathways and opportunities for Canadian players to gain exposure at the highest level,” he said.
“It is equally important that communities across British Colombia and the west coast get the opportunity to witness some of the biggest names in cricket right here in their backyard.”
International participants who played in the 2025 event included the likes of Suresh Raina (India), Moeen Ali (England), Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh), Nick Hobson (Australia) and Imran Tahir (South Africa). The women’s teams included the star-power of Deandra Dottin (West Indies), Amanda-Jade Wellington (Australia) and Sterre Kalis (Netherlands) in their ranks.
BC Place general manager Chris May said hosting the Super 60 for a second season showcases the venue’s ability to accommodate a growing number of sports in its facilities.
“The return on Super 60 reinforces BC Place’s growing role as a home for Canada’s cricketing community and its rich, joyful culture,” he said. “If last year is any indication, we can once again expect days of an electric atmosphere celebrating this global sport.”
