About the Franchise

Where Mississauga
Meets the World

The Mississauga Skyhawks are one of six officially allotted franchises in the NCL GT20 Canada league — North America's first major T20 franchise cricket competition, broadcast to 133 countries and watched by over 180 million viewers in Season 3.

Our name draws from Mississauga's status as home to Toronto Pearson International Airport — the busiest airport in Canada. Like the city itself, the Skyhawks represent speed, precision, and global connectivity.
