Vancouver, Canada – In an exciting development for cricket in North America, the Canada Super 60 has announced that the iconic BC Place will serve as the official venue for its inaugural men’s and women’s tournaments. This historic announcement marks a major milestone for the Canada Super 60, as it secures one of the most prestigious and state-of-the-art stadiums in the country.
BC Place, located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, is not just a stadium, but a symbol of Canadian sporting heritage. It has played host to numerous global sporting events over the past four decades, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015 and the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. With its retractable roof, world-class infrastructure, and multi-sport versatility, BC Place will now transform into an all-weather cricket stadium, becoming the first indoor venue in the world to host a 10-over-a-side cricket tournament.
According to global cricket icon and strategic partner of Canada Super 60, Yuvraj Singh, “BC Place is not just a stadium; it’s a theatre of dreams.” Singh believes that the city of Vancouver, known for its nature, diversity, and culture, will provide the perfect backdrop for the tournament and ignite a new fan base for cricket on the West Coast.
The Canada Super 60 is the first global-format cricket league to feature both men’s and women’s 10-over-a-side tournaments from inception. Its aim is to redefine competitive cricket in Canada and create a blueprint for the sport’s growth in North America. Cricket Canada’s President, Amjad Bajwa, expressed pride in introducing BC Place to the world of cricket and congratulated the Super 60 team on making this partnership possible. He believes that this partnership is a clear signal of their commitment to expanding cricket across the country and creating world-class opportunities for Canadian players.
Chris May, General Manager of BC Place, shared this excitement, stating, “We are beyond excited to welcome cricket to BC Place.” He sees this as a tremendous opportunity to showcase the world’s second most-watched sport in their beautiful city and is always looking for new and dynamic events that reflect the diversity of British Columbia.
The official tournament dates and ticketing information for the Canada Super 60 will be announced shortly. With cricket being one of the fastest-growing sports in North America, the event promises not only thrilling matches but also a transformational cultural and sporting experience in Vancouver.
The Canada Super 60, a groundbreaking new cricket league launching in 2025, is backed by Cricket Canada and aims to elevate Canada’s place in the world cricket map while offering fans a thrilling mix of power and strategy between T20s and ODIs. The tournament will be hosted at the iconic BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, making it the first major cricket league to debut on Canada’s West Coast.
BC Place, the largest multi-purpose venue of its kind in Western Canada, provides a spectacular home for international, professional and amateur sports, entertainment, commerce, cultural experiences, and community gatherings for the benefit of all British Columbians. It is a part of BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo), a Provincial Crown Corporation of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture & Sport that owns and operates the Vancouver Convention Centre and BC Place.
