The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) has confirmed a drone show will take place before the start of the fixtures on Friday and Sunday at the Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, adding a new spectacle to St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ first taste of Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League cricket.
The drone display will take place before the start of the Jamaica Kingsmen and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons on Friday and the clash on Sunday between Antigua and Barbuda Falcons and St Lucia Kings.
Both fixtures will now start at 7:15 p..m.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines joins the Republic Bank CPL’s widest-ever footprint this season, with matches across eight nations.
Arnos Vale — a venue with a proud cricket history, having previously staged 36 men’s international matches, including fixtures at the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup — will now add a new dimension to matchday entertainment as the league looks to build on the energy of a home crowd with a large-scale drone show before play gets underway.
The addition of the drone element is intended to give fans at the ground a matchday experience that extends beyond the cricket itself, with the display visible across the venue before the games get underway.
With the pre-match drone shows marking some of the first CPL cricket St. Vincent and the Grenadines has hosted, organisers say the displays signal the league’s ambition to elevate the fan experience at every venue on the 2026 calendar.
This year’s tournament runs through to the playoffs at Kensington Oval in Barbados from Sept. 16 to 20.
