Sharjah Warriorz (formerly spelled Sharjah Warriors) play five home matches in DP World ILT20 Season 5, and every one of the seven league games at Sharjah Cricket Stadium involves them. That makes Sharjah the best place to see the Warriorz: seven matches between 22 November and 11 December 2026.
The Warriorz have a rebuilt squad under new coach Adrian Birrell, with James Vince, Sikandar Raza, Mohammad Nabi, Adil Rashid and last season’s Best Bowler Waqar Salamkheil. Tickets for ILT20 2026 are not on sale yet and are expected to open in October through Virgin Megastore. This page lists every Warriorz match, past prices, how to book and match-day tips, and will be updated with the booking link when sales open.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium guide
Sharjah Cricket Stadium holds about 16,000 fans and has hosted more one-day internationals than any other ground in the world. Its short boundaries make it the most batter-friendly venue in the league, and 180-plus totals are common, so expect plenty of sixes. Being the smallest ground, it also has the closest, loudest atmosphere. It hosts Qualifier 2 on 18 December.
