New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) and Duco Events have today announced the renewal of their
multi-year media partnership for the Hot Spring Spas T20 Black Clash in association with Wolfbrook -
continuing a popular collaboration connecting Kiwis with one of the country’s most entertaining sporting
events.
Returning to Bay Oval in Tauranga on 17 January 2026, the Hot Spring Spas T20 Black Clash, which has
sold out each year, will once again bring together rugby and cricket legends for a unique T20 cricket
showdown that blends sport and entertainment.
NZME will continue to support the event across its leading audio, digital and print platforms, with Radio
Hauraki leading the charge alongside The Alternative Commentary Collective (The ACC) and The Hits. The
ACC crew will bring their trademark humour and energy to the TVNZ live broadcast commentary as well as
the popular dedicated ACC and DB Export Ultra Zone.
Emily Travers, NZME’s Head of Commercial Sport, Partnership and Events, says the renewed partnership
reflects NZME’s commitment to delivering exceptional live experiences while connecting brands with highly
engaged audiences.
“We’re delighted to continue our strong partnership with Duco to bring Kiwis closer to this fantastic annual
event. The T20 Black Clash is a firm favourite across the country, with a massive live broadcast audience
and sell-out crowds year after year. Duco knows how to entertain and this collaboration is sport entertainment
at its best.”
Carlena Limmer, Event Director at Duco Events, says NZME’s long-standing support has played a significant
role in the event’s continued growth.
“We’re thrilled to renew our long-term partnership with NZME, whose platforms help us create the energy
and nationwide reach that makes the T20 Black Clash such a special event on New Zealand’s sporting
calendar. We look forward to delivering another unforgettable event for sportainment fans across the country
in 2026 and beyond.”
Tickets for the T20 Black Clash will go on sale on Thursday 17 September, with pre-sale tickets available
on Wednesday 16 September. For more details and to sign up for pre-sale access, go to
