T20 Black Clash 2027

Hot Spring T20 Black Clash returns to Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Friday 22 January 2027.

One epic summer showdown. Some of the biggest names in New Zealand sport. And this year, there’s a new twist.

Team Rugby is bringing backup!

Kieran Read is calling in some famous sporting friends from outside the rugby world to help take down Team Cricket.

But with Tim Southee captaining Team Cricket, they’re not giving up their bragging rights without a fight.

Team Cricket leads the rivalry 6–2.

Can Team Rugby + Friends finally turn the tide? Or will Team Cricket make it another win?
