About SA20 2027 — Cape Town
SA20 — South Africa's fast-growing franchise Twenty20 league — comes to Cape Town through its 2027 season, with MI Cape Town playing their home match days at the magnificent Newlands across January and February (check the fixture list for exact dates). Newlands, framed by Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, is one of the most beautiful cricket grounds anywhere in the world, and an SA20 evening there — sun setting behind the mountain, oak trees around the ground, big hitting under lights — is unforgettable.
Cape Town is a world-class destination in its own right: the mountain, the beaches, the winelands and the V&A Waterfront. Stay in the City Bowl or near the Waterfront for easy access to Newlands, and book early — January is peak season in the Mother City.

History
SA20, South Africa's fast-rising franchise Twenty20 league, launched in January 2023 and has quickly become one of the most watchable competitions on the circuit, drawing world-class players to six city-based teams each summer. In Cape Town, MI Cape Town play their home matches at Newlands, and there are few finer places to watch cricket anywhere: framed by Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, shaded by oaks and steeped in history, the ground has staged Test cricket since 1889.
An SA20 evening here — the sun dipping behind the mountain, big hitting under lights — is unforgettable. Cape Town is a world-class destination in its own right, with the V&A Waterfront, the Table Mountain cableway, the beaches and the surrounding Winelands all close at hand. Stay in the City Bowl or near the Waterfront for the easiest access to Newlands, and book early, as January is peak season in the Mother City.
