1xBet Becomes Official Sponsor of Barbados Tridents for CPL 2026
The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 is set to begin on August 7, with teams preparing to compete for one of the most coveted titles in Caribbean cricket. The tournament will continue until September 20, bringing together some of the region’s finest players and international stars.
As preparations gather pace, international betting brand 1xBet has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Barbados Tridents, one of the established franchises in the competition.
The CPL has continued to expand its global audience in recent years. Its combined television and digital reach crossed the one-billion mark in 2024, recording approximately 1.13 billion viewers. That figure increased further in 2025, highlighting the tournament’s growing international appeal.
The competition also enjoys considerable popularity among Indian cricket fans. Several players who have made their mark in the Indian Premier League have also represented CPL franchises. Stars such as Faf du Plessis, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and Romario Shepherd have helped strengthen the connection between the two major T20 leagues.
Barbados Tridents are two-time CPL champions, having lifted the trophy in 2014 and 2019. They also finished runners-up in 2015 and 2022. Their current squad features captain Rovman Powell, wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock and opener Brandon King.
As part of the new partnership, 1xBet will become an official Barbados Tridents partner. Its branding will feature on team kits, stadium advertising boards, social media channels and promotional campaigns throughout the CPL 2026 season.
