International betting brand 1xBet has signed a sponsorship agreement with Barbados Tridents, who compete in the Caribbean Premier League. The cricket team will take part in the 2026 CPL season, which runs from 7 August to 20 September 2026.
The Caribbean Premier League is one of the world’s most popular cricket competitions, second only to the Indian Premier League. In 2024, the CPL’s total audience across digital and broadcast platforms exceeded one billion for the first time, reaching 1.13 billion, before rising to 1.17 billion in 2025.
“The Caribbean Premier League continues to set new popularity records, attracting more than one billion viewers worldwide for two consecutive years. We are delighted to become involved in the CPL as a sponsor of one of its strongest teams, as 1xBet’s main mission is to support the development and promotion of sport worldwide,” said a 1xBet representative.
The league has earned a special place in the hearts of Indian viewers, as many players familiar to them from the IPL have also featured in the CPL. They range from legends such as Faf du Plessis (Saint Lucia Kings/Chennai Super Kings), Chris Gayle (St Kitts and Nevis Patriots/Punjab Kings) and Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders/Mumbai Indians) to current stars Sunil Narine (Trinbago Knight Riders/Kolkata Knight Riders) and Romario Shepherd (Guyana Amazon Warriors/Royal Challengers Bengaluru).
Barbados Tridents have won the CPL twice, in 2014 and 2019, and finished as runners-up in 2015 and 2022. The current squad includes captain Rovman Powell, wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock, opening batter Brandon King and other outstanding players.
“Our team have won the CPL twice, and last season we fell just short of the final. With the support of our new sponsor, 1xBet, we hope to improve on last year’s result and claim the title for a third time,” said a Barbados Tridents representative.
Under the terms of the agreement, 1xBet has become an official partner of Barbados Tridents. The brand’s logo will appear on the team’s kit, on advertising hoardings at stadiums during matches, as well as on social media and in promotional activities.
