Brampton, Canada – Sunday, June 1st, 2025 — Cricket in Canada is entering a new era. The Canada Super60 has proudly announced that iconic BC Place Stadium in Vancouver will serve as the official venue for the inaugural men’s and women’s tournaments this October.
For the Brampton Blitz, one of Super60’s founding franchises, this is more than a venue announcement—it’s a historic milestone that signals cricket’s arrival on one of the grandest stages in North America.
A World-Class Launchpad for Super60
BC Place, set in the heart of downtown Vancouver, is one of Canada’s most prestigious and versatile stadiums. With a retractable roof, capacity of over 50,000, and a legacy of hosting world-class events—from the 2010 Olympic Games to the FIFA Women’s World Cup—the venue is now set to make history again as the first indoor stadium in the world to host a 10-over-a-side cricket league.
“BC Place is not just a stadium; it’s a theatre of dreams,” said Yuvraj Singh, global cricket icon and strategic partner of Canada Super60. “For players, men and women alike, there couldn’t be a better venue to start this journey. Vancouver is a city that thrives on nature, diversity, and culture — and cricket on the West Coast is going to ignite a whole new fan base.”
For teams like the Brampton Blitz, it means stepping onto a stage worthy of the league’s ambition.
Why This Matters for Canadian Cricket
The Canada Super60 is the first global-format cricket league to feature both men’s and women’s 10-over-a-side tournaments from its inception. For the Blitz, who represent one of Canada’s true cricketing heartlands, it’s a chance to showcase Brampton talent on a global platform.
“We feel incredibly proud to introduce BC Place to the world of cricket,” said Amjad Bajwa, President of Cricket Canada. “This partnership is a clear signal of our commitment to expanding cricket across the country and creating world-class opportunities for Canadian players — especially as we look ahead to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2026.”
Chris May, General Manager of BC Place, added:
“We are beyond excited to welcome cricket to BC Place. Hosting the Canada Super60 is a tremendous opportunity to showcase the world’s second most-watched sport right here in our beautiful city.”
The Blitz Perspective
For the Brampton Blitz, this moment underscores why the Super60 matters. Our city has long been a hub of cricket passion and talent, and now those players will compete on a stage that reflects the game’s global stature.
BC Place may be home to the league, but every ball bowled there represents communities like Brampton, where cricket is lived and loved daily. We’re proud to carry that spirit into the tournament and to help showcase Canadian cricket’s potential to the world.
What Comes Next
The official tournament dates and ticketing information for the Canada Super60 will be announced soon. With cricket being one of the fastest-growing sports in North America, this event promises not only thrilling matches but also a cultural and sporting milestone for Canada.
This October, the Brampton Blitz will take the field at BC Place alongside the league’s other founding teams, united in one mission: to make cricket in Canada unforgettable.
