Sky Stadium
In 2020 Wellington’s iconic home of sport was renamed Sky Stadium.

The six-year agreement was welcomed by stadium CEO, Shane Harmon. “Sky is a great fit because of their position as the nation’s premium provider and our aligned goals of creating memorable and rewarding experiences. Sky is a leader in sport, broadcast technology and innovation, and we will be seeking to deliver new technologies and content ideas to our venue.” At Sky, we’re excited too – not only do we have the best sport on our screens, but we are also delighted to host fans at Sky Stadium!
