Vancouver, BC – A new era for Canadian cricket is on the horizon. The highly anticipated Canada Super 60, a ten-over-a-side cricket league featuring top players from around the world, is scheduled to kick off at BC Place Stadium from October 8 to 13, 2025. This groundbreaking event will mark the first time that international cricket of this caliber will be played indoors, under lights, at a premier venue on Canada’s West Coast, making it a truly historic moment for the sport in North America.
The tournament will showcase both men’s and women’s competitions in its debut season, making it one of the most inclusive and ambitious cricket initiatives in Canadian history.
With Canada recently qualifying for the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup, the timing for this event couldn’t be better. Gurdeep Klair, Treasurer of Cricket Canada and a member of the ICC Executive Committee, believes that the Canada Super 60 has the potential to be a pivotal moment in the country’s cricket development. “This tournament serves as a stepping stone for the next generation of Canadian cricketers. It provides them with high-quality exposure in a professional setting, right here at home. Hosting the tournament at a globally recognized venue like BC Place showcases the tremendous progress Canadian cricket has made. This level of competition is historic and having a women’s competition from the very beginning sends a strong message to young girls across the country: cricket is for them too, and they can aspire to great things.”
Former Scotland captain and now Assistant Tournament Director, Kyle Coetzer, also expressed his enthusiasm about the venue and its impact. “The Canada Super 60 presents a unique opportunity – a tournament that combines top-tier entertainment with real potential for development. It will benefit players not only from Canada, but from associate nations around the world, providing them with a platform to compete, grow, and learn alongside international stars. With player registration now open, the excitement surrounding the tournament is already palpable. It’s an opportunity for players to challenge themselves and thrill fans in one of the most dynamic sporting environments anywhere.”
Vancouver is set to experience a cricket event like never before – fast-paced matches under a retractable roof, electrifying fan experiences, and a celebration of sport, community, and culture all in one. With prime-time games scheduled throughout the week, the Canada Super 60 is poised to establish Vancouver as a global cricket destination.
