One week to go until Birmingham Phoenix return.
Birmingham Phoenix’s men’s and women’s teams will be back in action at Edgbaston for unmissable home fixtures from next week, as cricket’s most fast-paced competition returns to excite crowds with another year full of world-class sport and live entertainment for the whole family.
The thrilling home action begins with a standalone men’s fixture on Wednesday 10th August, when the team take on reigning champions Southern Brave at 6:30pm. Fans can also expect a live performance from Birmingham-born, BBC Introducing musician Leadley, who will be singing her hits for the crowd pre-match.
Returning with a bang, Birmingham Phoenix women’s team will be joining forces with the men’s fixtures from Monday 15th August, when the fixtures will return to the popular double-header format, with both men’s and women’s teams playing on the same day – with tickets enabling fans to enjoy both matches. The women’s side will face Trent Rockets at 3pm, before the men’s team take on the team later in the evening.
Fans of all ages can also enjoy another two double header fixtures at Edgbaston on Friday 19th August and Sunday 28th August, where both sides will play Northern Superchargers and Manchester Originals.
