Joburg Sixes 2026
2 Oct - 4 Oct SAST (+02:00)
Pirates Sports Club
Details
One weekend. Four sports. Joburg's biggest social sports festival.
Joburg Sixes is where social sport and serious fun meet! Short-format cricket, padel and hockey — plus a unique golf day format to open the weekend — wrapped in live music, great food, a full bar, wine on the wicket and a kids zone. Friday 2 – Sunday 4 October 2026.
ENTER A TEAM
Grab your mates, your colleagues or your club and pick your sport. Formats are short, fast and built for all abilities — you don't need to be match-fit, just seven friends and a sense of humour. Hockey makes its Sixes debut in Joburg, so your team can be part of a first. Fields are limited and first come, first served — once a sport is full, it's full.
WATCH FOR FREE
Can't play? Come anyway — spectating is completely free. Bring the family, park off at the main oval, catch the live music and let the kids loose in the kids zone. The best free day out in Joburg this spring.
