Surrey County Cricket Club’s long-standing partnership with Xbox is set to enter an impressive eighth year, with the company renewing its role as the Official Family Zone Partner at the Kia Oval.
The Xbox Family Zone, now an established element of each Vitality Blast match day, offers a dedicated space for young supporters. Located in the John Major Room for the 2026 season, the area will continue to feature Xbox stations and cricket-related activities with their friends. The area also allows them and their parents and carers to experience world-class cricket action from a private balcony with a behind-the-bowler view.
To celebrate the start of the eighth year of the partnership, Xbox are giving a Series S console and six months of Game Pass to one lucky Surrey fan. Keep a lookout at Surrey’s social media channels to know more about the giveaway competition. Read the T&Cs here.
Xbox, a Founding Partner of Surrey’s first fully professional women’s team, which won the inaugural Vitality Blast last summer, will continue to support both the women’s and men’s sides in 2026. As a part of the renewed partnership, Xbox plans to deliver new content designed to offer fans and followers of women’s sport additional insight into the Three Feathers setup.
The renewal of the partnership also ensures the return of the Xbox Power Players giveaway competition for a fourth year. In 2025, four winners took home a one-of-a-kind Xbox Gaming Bundle, which included a Surrey-branded controller, six months’ worth of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and a Surrey T20 shirt.
Adrian Wells, Commercial and Marketing Director at Surrey, said: “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Xbox for an eighth successive year and build on an association that continues to enrich the experience for everyone who comes through our gates. Xbox’s continued commitment to supporting both our men’s and women’s teams reflects the values we share as organisations.
“The Xbox Family Zone has become a much-loved part of the match day experience at the Kia Oval, giving young fans and families a fun, welcoming and engaging space to enjoy cricket in new ways.
“Working alongside the team from Xbox, we have proudly brought together young fans through their shared passion for cricket and gaming over the last seven years, and we are looking forward to delivering another memorable experience for our supporters this summer as we celebrate their 25th anniversary year.”
