NSW Blues' 2026-27 schedule confirmed

All 10 of NSW’s Sheffield Shield fixtures, plus eight One-Day Cup matches, have been locked in for the upcoming summer of cricket, the men's side's first under new coach Brad Haddin.

The Blues’ Shield season will commence on October 8-11, when they face Tasmania at Cricket Central. It will be the first of two First-Class matches at Cricket NSW headquarters in 2026-27, with the other three home games to be played at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground.

Trips to Queensland and Victoria await the Blues to open their One-Day Cup campaign, before hosting Tasmania in the first of two matches against the side they defeated in the 2025-26 Final.

All three One-Day Cup home matches in 2026-27 will be played at Cricket Central.

The NSW Breakers' Women's National Cricket League schedule will be announced later this month.
