Cape Town · Sports & events
SPORT & SEASON
The calendar runs on southern-hemisphere time: rugby through winter, cricket in summer, big races in autumn.
Newlands cricket
Tests and one-day cricket under Devil's Peak from roughly October to March; the grass bank is the cheapest seat and the one with the view.
Stormers rugby, Cape Town Stadium
The Stormers play United Rugby Championship at the Green Point stadium across a season running September to June, with cheap tickets away from the halfway line.
Cape Town Cycle Tour
Tens of thousands of riders take a 109-kilometre loop around the peninsula in March. The roads close, so plan the day around it or enter.
Two Oceans Marathon
The ultra and half run over Chapman's Peak and Constantia Nek at Easter, in autumn; watching from Constantia Nek is free and very loud.
