SKNPatriots are back for the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, and Warner Park in Basseterre is once again the home base for the team’s biggest nights of cricket. This guide gives fans a single, scannable source for everything that matters: the SKNPatriots home schedule, where to buy tickets, who’s in the squad, and which Kittitian players are wearing the gold and black this season.
Team Snapshot
- Franchise: St Kitts & Nevis Patriots
- Founded: 2015
- Home ground: Warner Park Sporting Complex, Basseterre (capacity 10,000)
- Captain: Jason Holder
- Owner: Mahesh Ramani, Winning Willows Limited
- CPL titles: 1 (2021)
- 6ixty title: 1 (2022)
The Patriots joined the CPL as the league’s first expansion franchise back in 2015, backed by the St Kitts and Nevis government and the local business community. After several lean seasons, the team broke through in 2021, beating Saint Lucia Kings to lift its first CPL trophy — still the standout moment in the franchise’s history.
CPL 2026 at a Glance
This year’s tournament runs from August 7 to September 20, 2026, and for the first time features seven franchises instead of six, with the new Jamaica Kingsmen joining the established sides. Every team plays a single round-robin league stage, after which the top four advance to a four-match playoff phase — the Eliminator, Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2, and the Final — all staged at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, which hosts the knockouts for the first time in tournament history.
SKNPatriots 2026 Home Schedule at Warner Park
Fans following SKNPatriots this year will get four home matches, all played at Warner Park between August 27 and September 3:
| Date | Opponent | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| August 27 | Jamaica Kingsmen | Warner Park, Basseterre |
| August 30 | Antigua & Barbuda Falcons | Warner Park, Basseterre |
| September 1 | Barbados Tridents | Warner Park, Basseterre |
| September 3 | Saint Lucia Kings | Warner Park, Basseterre |
All four fixtures are night matches, starting at 7:00 PM local time (AST). The August 27 opener against Jamaica Kingsmen is a quick-turnaround rematch — the two sides also meet on the road earlier in the tournament — while the closing clash with Saint Lucia Kings on September 3 wraps up the Warner Park leg of the season before the Patriots head back out on the road for their remaining away fixtures.
Where to Buy Tickets
Tickets for all Warner Park matches are sold through the official CPL ticketing platform:
- cplt20.com — select “Buy Tickets” from the main menu
- The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots team page on the CPL site also links directly to ticketing for each home fixture as it goes on sale
Because Warner Park seats just 10,000, home matches — especially marquee nights — tend to sell out well ahead of the first ball. Booking early is the safest way to guarantee a seat for the homestand.
The 2026 Squad
Captain Jason Holder leads a roster built to balance proven Caribbean class with sharp overseas talent:
Batting and wicketkeeping: Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Mikyle Louis, Kevin Wickham
Bowling: Obed McCoy, Jeremiah Louis, Mohammad Waqar Salamkheil, Ashmead Nedd, Naseem Shah, Micah McKenzie
All-rounders: Jason Holder (captain), Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Kyle Mayers, Nikhil Chaudhary, Alick Athanaze
The overseas contingent gives the Patriots real variety: Wanindu Hasaranga’s leg-spin, Naseem Shah’s raw pace, and Dasun Shanaka’s all-round experience sit alongside Johnson Charles, the CPL’s all-time leading run-scorer, and Andre Fletcher, who ranks second on that same list. Kyle Mayers rounds things out as a genuine dual-threat player who can open the batting or chip in with the ball.
Kittitian Talent: The Home-Grown Core
What makes the Patriots special to local fans is the pipeline of Kittitian players in the squad:
- Mikyle Louis — An opening batter who has already made it to West Indies Test cricket, Louis brings genuine international pedigree to the top of the Patriots’ order.
- Jeremiah Louis — A right-arm fast bowler and Mikyle’s older brother, Jeremiah has been part of the Patriots setup since 2017 and is a fixture of Leeward Islands domestic cricket.
- Micah McKenzie — One of the squad’s local bowling options, brought through the CPL’s local player draft process alongside the Louis brothers.
Having two brothers — Mikyle and Jeremiah Louis — in the same Patriots dressing room is one of the most compelling home-grown storylines in this year’s competition, and a reminder of just how deep St Kitts and Nevis’s talent pool has become.
Why SKNPatriots Fans Should Watch This Season
Warner Park has a reputation for turning electric once SKN Patriots take the field, and recent form backs that up: Jason Holder has repeatedly anchored home innings with match-defining fifties and closed out tight finishes with the ball. As a result, the four-match homestand from August 27 to September 3 sets up as one of the most consistently competitive stretches on the entire CPL calendar. For visiting bowlers, meanwhile, facing Charles and Fletcher at the top of the order at Warner Park is no easy assignment.
What to Expect This Season
- A packed four-match homestand between August 27 and September 3 gives fans a concentrated stretch of live cricket at Warner Park
- The Jamaica Kingsmen’s arrival as CPL’s newest franchise adds a fresh rivalry to the Patriots’ schedule
- Depth across both batting and bowling — from Charles and Fletcher’s experience to Hasaranga and Naseem Shah’s variety — gives the Patriots a squad capable of matching up with any side in the expanded seven-team field
