Harare Sports Club – Your Quick Guide to News, Fixtures and Tickets
If you love cricket or just enjoy a good day out, Harare Sports Club is the place to be. Located in the heart of Zimbabwe’s capital, the ground hosts international matches, domestic leagues and community events. This guide gives you the most useful info without any fluff – what’s happening, when you can watch, and how to snag a seat.
Upcoming Fixtures and How to Watch
Harare Sports Club’s calendar is packed from October through March. The most anticipated games are the Test matches featuring the Zimbabwe national team, followed by the Logan Cup (the first‑class domestic competition). Check the club’s official schedule for exact dates – the next Test starts on 12 November and the Logan Cup opener is slated for 3 December.
If you can’t get to the ground, there are a few ways to catch the action live. Local broadcasters like ZTN and SuperSport carry most international fixtures. For streaming, the ZBC website offers a free live feed for many matches, and the SuperSport app lets you watch on your phone or tablet. Just remember to verify the match time in your time zone; Zimbabwe is GMT+2, so a 10 am start is 8 am in London.
Getting Tickets and Visiting the Venue
Tickets for Harare Sports Club are sold on a first‑come, first‑served basis, either online through the club’s ticket portal or at the box office on match day. Prices start at $5 for general admission and go up to $25 for premium seating. If you’re planning a group visit – say a family outing or a corporate gathering – book at least two weeks in advance to lock in the best seats.
Getting to the ground is straightforward. The venue sits near Samora Machel Avenue, just a short walk from the Harare bus terminal. Taxis and rideshare services drop you off at the main gate; just tell the driver “Harare Sports Club”. For those who prefer driving, there’s a modest parking lot with a flat fee of $2 per hour.
Once inside, you’ll find plenty of amenities. The club offers free Wi‑Fi, a variety of food stalls (local snacks like biltong and samosas are popular), and clean restrooms. If you’re attending a daytime match, bring a hat and sunscreen – the Zimbabwe sun can be intense.
Beyond cricket, Harare Sports Club hosts concerts, charity runs and community fairs throughout the year. Keep an eye on the club’s social media pages for surprise events – they often announce pop‑up activities a week in advance.
In short, whether you’re a die‑hard cricket fan or just looking for a fun weekend plan, Harare Sports Club has something to offer. Check the schedule, grab your tickets early, and enjoy a day of sport, food and good vibes at one of Zimbabwe’s most beloved venues.
