Castleford Tigers Announce Dynamic Partnership with Sixes Social Cricket!

Castleford Tigers Rugby League Club is thrilled to unveil an exciting new partnership with the global social cricket phenomenon, Sixes Social Cricket, as the kit sleeve sponsor for the 2025 season.

Founded in 2020 by friends and cricket enthusiasts Andy Waugh and Calum Mackinnon, Sixes Social Cricket has redefined the sport, blending state-of-the-art cricket technology with a vibrant social experience. The duo’s vision of creating the world’s biggest cricket party has already materialised into 18 venues worldwide, including a buzzing new site in Leeds, with further expansion underway.

At Sixes, players face legendary bowlers like James Anderson, Brett Lee, and Shane Warne in immersive, high-tech batting simulators. This unique fusion of sport, entertainment, and competition has captivated fans and continues to revolutionise how cricket is enjoyed.

Laura Kirk, Commercial Director of Castleford Tigers RLFC, said: “The energy Andy and Calum bring to Sixes social cricket is infectious, they are as passionate about their fans and experience as we are about Rugby League, our fans and our fan experience.

“We know many Cas fans love cricket too, so this is the perfect partnership to cross promote both sports. We look forward to being able to activate this across the season with a number of initiatives from members discount offers, matchday engagement, even player and coach v fan matches, the possibilities are endless and exciting. We’re looking forward to working with Andy, Calum and the team at Sixes in the 2025 season and beyond”

Andy Waugh, Co-founder of Sixes Social Cricket, shared his enthusiasm:
“Sixes is all about bringing people together through the thrill of sport, friendly competition, and unforgettable experiences. Partnering with Castleford Tigers feels like a perfect match. The synergy between our brands has already sparked some incredible ideas for the upcoming season, and we’re buzzing with excitement about what’s to come.

“We had the privilege of welcoming the squad to our Leeds venue before Christmas, and just last week, Tex, Joe, and Laura joined us to kick off this fantastic partnership. We can’t wait to see Cas fans step into the nets, smash some Sixes, and experience the exhilarating rush of taking on cricket’s greatest bowlers!”

With plans to integrate Sixes’ family-friendly cricket experiences into the heart of the Castleford Tigers community, this partnership promises to deliver unparalleled excitement and innovation throughout the 2025 season.
