By Ahmed Raza | Last updated: July 28, 2026
Trinbago Knight Riders have locked in their home schedule for the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, confirming that all five of their group-stage matches will be played at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain. The ten-day home stand runs from 26 August through 2 September, and tickets are already available for purchase.
The CPL franchise announced that its entire group-stage home slate will stay at Queen’s Park Oval, giving Trinidad & Tobago fans five straight home fixtures to look forward to. Alongside the venue confirmation came a notable adjustment to the original fixture list: two of the franchise’s scheduled opponents have swapped match dates.
Under the tournament’s initial schedule, Trinbago Knight Riders were set to face Guyana Amazon Warriors on Saturday, 29 August, and Jamaica Kingsmen on Monday, 31 August. That pairing has now been reversed. Jamaica Kingsmen will instead take the field at Queen’s Park Oval on 29 August, while Guyana Amazon Warriors will play the 31 August fixture. Every other detail — including dates, venue, and start times for the remaining matches — stays as originally planned.
Key Details
The finalized home schedule for Trinbago Knight Riders reads as follows:
- Wednesday, 26 August — 7:00 pm: vs Saint Lucia Kings
- Friday, 28 August — 8:00 pm: vs Barbados Tridents
- Saturday, 29 August — 7:00 pm: vs Jamaica Kingsmen
- Monday, 31 August — 5:00pm: vs Guyana Amazon Warriors

That’s five matches in eight days, all under lights or in evening slots except for the 31 August contest, which carries an earlier 5:00 pm start. Tickets for the full stand are available now through the league’s official site, www.cplt20.com.
For Trinbago Knight Riders, hosting the entire group-stage home schedule at a single venue offers a rare run of continuity — no travel disruption, consistent conditions, and the chance to build momentum in front of the same crowd night after night. That consistency can matter significantly in T20 cricket, where home comfort and familiarity with pitch and outfield conditions often translate into tangible on-field advantages.
The fixture swap also carries scheduling implications for both Jamaica Kingsmen and Guyana Amazon Warriors, who will now need to adjust their own travel and preparation windows around the new dates. While the practical difference for neutral observers may be minor, such swaps can affect squad rotation planning, especially for franchises managing player availability across the tournament’s compressed group stage.
For supporters, the update settles any uncertainty created by the earlier schedule and confirms exactly which sides will be in town on which nights — useful information for fans planning to attend multiple matches during the stand.
Queen’s Park Oval has long been one of the Caribbean Premier League’s signature venues, having hosted numerous high-profile nights since the tournament’s earlier seasons. Its capacity and atmosphere have made it a natural home base for Trinbago Knight Riders, one of the CPL’s most successful and popular franchises.
The five opponents lined up for this year’s home stand represent a cross-section of the league, including traditional rivals and franchises that have historically produced closely contested matches against Trinbago Knight Riders at this venue. With the group stage condensed into a matter of weeks each season, home advantage across a concentrated run of fixtures can play a meaningful role in a team’s push toward the knockout rounds.
With the schedule now finalized, attention turns to squad preparations as Trinbago Knight Riders build toward their 26 August opener against Saint Lucia Kings. Further updates on squad composition, player availability, and any additional tournament announcements are expected in the coming weeks as the Republic Bank CPL 2026 season approaches.
