Do you like to watch sports alongside true sports fans?
Wellington Sports Fans is not just for watching sports live at the Basin Reserve or SKY Stadium. It’s for getting together with other true sports fans to watch our favourite events at bars, fan zones, or even going the distance around New Zealand or to other countries. It’s about the great Kiwi tradition of getting up at all hours to see global events live from far-flung time zones around the world.
2021 promises to be a massive year for international sport, because of several 2020 events carried over from last year. Big events of 2021 include:
• Black Caps v Pakistan (January, Christchurch)
• Australia v India (January, Australia-wide)
• Prada Cup (America’s Cup Challenger Selection Series) (January/February, Auckland)
• Black Caps v Australia (February/March, NZ-wide)
• America’s Cup (March, Auckland)
• Black Caps v Bangladesh (March, NZ-wide)
• UEFA Euro 2020* (June/July, Europe-wide)
• Tokyo 2020* Summer Olympic Games (July/August, Japan)
• Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 (September/October, Auckland/Whangarei)
• FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifying (Oceania dates TBA)
I’ve included above tournaments and series particular to 2021, that’s without the events that (usually) happen around the same time each year:
Tennis Grand Slams, Golf majors, EPL, NBA, NBL, IPL, MLB, NHL, NFL, NRL, AFL, Rugby Championship, Rugby Six Nations, plus Silver Ferns and All Blacks matches to be announced.
All sports fans in Wellington welcome!
