One of the world’s top-tier T20 cricket competitions, the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), has revealed a new official partnership with Flow, the Caribbean’s leading telecommunications provider, ahead of its 2026 tournament. The alliance brings together two regionally rooted brands united by a shared mission: to deliver premium entertainment and strengthen connections among communities across the Caribbean. Through Flow’s involvement, millions of cricket fans across the region and beyond will enjoy an upgraded CPL experience, marked by expanded access, deeper interactive engagement, and more reliable connectivity throughout the tournament.
Jamie Stewart, Commercial Director of CPL, expressed enthusiasm about the new collaboration, noting that Flow has long been recognized as a leader in connectivity and innovation across the Caribbean. Stewart emphasized that Flow’s dedication to creating standout consumer experiences aligns perfectly with CPL’s core vision, and the league is eager to work alongside the telecom provider to bring fans closer to on-field action than ever before.
Inge Smidts, Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Caribbean — Flow’s parent company that also operates Liberty Business and BTC — echoed that excitement, pointing out that cricket is far more than a sport to Caribbean communities: it is a core part of the regional identity, culture, and shared social fabric. Smidts explained that the CPL partnership builds on Flow’s long-standing commitment to investing in moments that unite Caribbean people. Following the brand’s role as Official Telecommunications Partner for the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, this new collaboration with CPL further solidifies Flow’s standing as a trusted supporter of world-class sporting events across the region. Smidts added that the company is proud to back a platform that elevates local Caribbean cricket talent, connects millions of passionate fans, and highlights the region’s dynamic energy and excellence to a global audience.
Founded in 2013, CPL is a franchise-based T20 cricket tournament that blends elite athletic competition with the vibrant Carnival atmosphere that is iconic to Caribbean culture. It has grown steadily to become one of the most-watched cricket leagues in the world, recording a total broadcast and digital viewership of 1.17 billion in 2025. The current title holder is Trinbago Knight Riders, and the league’s other six franchise teams include Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Kingsmen, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, and St Lucia Kings.
The addition of Flow as an official partner will strengthen CPL’s capacity to deliver unforgettable experiences for fans, both in-stadium for attendees and across digital platforms for remote viewers. The 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League is scheduled to run from August 7 to September 20, 2026.
