Spring Deals 2026 - Hundreds of Limited-Time Sports Gear Price Drops
Spring is here, and it’s one of the best times of the year to be playing or watching sport in New Zealand.
September is a unique crossover point in the sporting calendar. Rugby, rugby league, football and netball are reaching the business end, the One NZ Warriors are charging into the NRL Finals, and the All Blacks and Springboks renew one of rugby’s greatest rivalries. At the same time, cricket, tennis and touch rugby players are gearing up for spring and summer, while longer days and improving weather have plenty of Kiwis pulling the running shoes back on, training for summer sport or simply getting moving again.
There’s plenty happening at Players Sports too. For eight days only, Spring Deals brings together hundreds of limited-time price drops across sports gear, sharp pricing on selected new-season products, fresh releases for the back end of 2026 and extra discounts across heaps of our Outlet range.
Spring Deals run Tuesday 1 September to Tuesday 8 September 2026, in Players Sports stores and online for fast NZ-wide delivery.
Sharp Spring Deals on Cricket Bats & Cricket Gear
For cricketers, September means one thing: the new season is getting close.
Our latest 2026/27 cricket ranges are arriving, with cricket bats, shoes, protection, bags, gloves and other equipment available from Kookaburra, Gray-Nicolls, SS/TON, Gunn & Moore, New Balance, ASICS and more.
We've made cricket bats a particular focus of Spring Deals, with sharp short-term pricing across selected bats for eight days only.
We know the cost of quality cricket bats has increased considerably in recent seasons. That's why promotional weeks like this matter.
