This festive season, give the gift of a family fun filled experience with a day out at Betway SA20 where cricket culture and entertainment collide. Johannesburg is gearing up for its biggest summer celebration as The Wanderers transforms into a vibrant festival playground, hosting SA20 blockbuster match days from New Year’s Day (1 January 2026) through to 23 January 2026 for the play-offs, kicking off the new year in spectacular style. This is more than cricket. It is a full-scale lifestyle experience built for families, sports fans and anyone ready to start the new year with unforgettable energy.
Here is everything turning The Bullring into the hottest entertainment corner of the city.
- Local Performers – Expect bursts of local entertainers bringing the sound and spirit of the city to the concourse, delivering colour, rhythm and big Joburg energy.
- Fun-filled activities for kids – Gates open 3 hours before the start of each match. All young fans are invited onto the field for the first hour after gates open. Kids are encouraged to bring a bat and soft ball, giving them a unique chance to play, explore and be part of the action before the match begins (weather dependent). In addition to cricket, fun activities for the kids include stilt walkers, balloon artists, and face painters.
- Festive Giveaways & Surprise Activations – From Christmas cheer and New Year’s Eve excitement to summer surprises, fans can expect merchendise drops, festive pop-ups and memory-making moments throughout the stadium.
- Massive Prizes Up for Grabs –
- The chance to win big for a clean one-handed catch in Betway’s Catch R2 Million competition. Suzuki will also be giving away a brand new Suzuki Swift GL+.
- Absa cardholders will enjoy ticketing discounts as well as a chance to win up to R200 000 at every live Betway SA20 match!
- Switch will be giving away R5K at each match, and Castle Lite is back with their spin-and-win wheel.
