Durham Cricket Announce ‘Firsts’ Campaign: 2026 International Fixtures and Fan-First Innovations
Durham Cricket is proud to unveil its ‘Firsts’ Campaign for the 2026 season, introducing groundbreaking initiatives to make cricket more accessible and exciting for fans. This campaign marks a series of firsts, including exclusive ticket bundles, a new split-payment option, and Durham leading the charge as the opening host for each of the New Zealand ODI, Indian T20 and Sri Lankan ODI Series in the upcoming season.
More Cricket for Less with Exclusive Ticket Bundles
For the first time, Durham Cricket is launching ticket bundles designed to offer fans more International cricket for less. These bundles combine multiple matches into affordable packages, allowing supporters to experience the thrill of live cricket across various formats without breaking the bank. If you’re a fan of fast-paced T20 and the strategic yet dynamic One Day, the bundles are perfect for maximizing your cricket enjoyment at unbeatable value.
Affordable Access with Split-Pay Option
To ensure every fan can enjoy the sport they love, Durham Cricket will offer a split-payment option for ticket baskets over £90. This innovative approach allows fans to spread the cost of their tickets across four payments, making it easier to secure seats for the 2026 season’s most anticipated matches. This fan-first initiative reflects Durham’s commitment to removing financial barriers and welcoming more supporters to the Banks Homes Riverside Stadium.
Leading the Way as First in Each Series
Durham Cricket is proud to announce that it will host the opening matches of the Women’s New Zealand ODI, Indian T20 and Sri Lankan ODI series in the 2026 season, setting the stage for an electrifying summer of cricket. From the first ball to the last wicket, Durham will be the epicentre of cricketing action in the North/North East, showcasing top-tier talent and thrilling performances to kick off each competition in style.
A Season of Firsts
The ‘Firsts’ Campaign embodies Durham Cricket’s dedication to innovation and fan-first thinking. “We’re breaking new ground with these initiatives to ensure our fans are at the heart of everything we do,” said David Jackson, Marketing Director of Durham Cricket. “From offering more cricket for less through our Match Pass Bundles to making tickets more affordable with split payments, we’re committed to creating unforgettable experiences at Banks Homes Riverside.
