Boxing Day at the Sydney Cricket Ground is set to deliver the ultimate triple treat, with fans able to watch the Ashes Test live from the SCG early, before the Sydney Sixers take on the Melbourne Stars in a blockbuster Big Bash clash—capped off with live music and all-day entertainment.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early and settle in for a huge day of cricket, starting with Ashes Test coverage shown live inside the SCG, before the atmosphere shifts into party mode for one of the most anticipated rivalries of the Big Bash season.
On the field, the Sydney Sixers will be out to defend home turf against the Stars in a high-energy contest that has become a Boxing Day tradition.
Off the field, the SCG will transform into a festival hub packed with experiences for fans of all ages.
The day’s entertainment kicks off with a pre-game Q&A panel featuring star athletes, giving fans a unique insight from one of the country’s most recognisable sporting personalities.
Throughout the day, fans can enjoy the buzzing Live Site, the return of fan-favourite Babaristan, and the crowd-pleasing Woolworth Blast Kids playing Smash Series during the innings break.
Adding to the celebration, iconic Australian electronic act Sneaky Sound System will perform live, bringing the beats and ensuring the Boxing Day vibes continue long after the final over.
Sydney Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes said the Boxing Day fixture delivers a full-day experience unlike any other.
“Playing the Stars on Boxing Day already brings an incredible atmosphere, but this year’s line-up of entertainment and activations makes the experience even more special,
“Sneaky Sound System will bring world-class energy to the SCG, and our huge live site and gameday activations will ensure there’s something for everyone.
“It’s shaping up to be one of the most memorable nights of the season- so grab your friends and family, and we’ll see you there!”
