London, UK – Phi Edge, cricket’s AI prediction platform, today announced a strategic partnership with the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), under which Phi Edge will become the league's Official AI Prediction Partner for the 2026 tournament.
CPL has established itself as one of cricket's most popular T20 leagues, reaching a global broadcast and digital audience of more than 1.17 billion, with 2.47 million YouTube subscribers, more than 300 million tournament video views and over 10 million social media followers.
Under the partnership, Phi Edge's AI platform will generate match predictions, contextual analysis and insights before, during and after every CPL fixture, creating new digital stories to drive engagement for the league's fanbase worldwide.
Media and Business Development Director for the Caribbean Premier League Francois Vainker commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Phi Edge as the Official AI Prediction Partner of the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League. CPL is committed to innovating the fan experience and Phi Edge is pioneering the use of AI to create new forms of digital storytelling and entertainment for cricket fans. We’re excited to develop intelligent and entertaining digital match experiences together that engage fans and open up new commercial opportunities.”
Through the partnership, CPL supporters will have access to a wide range of AI-powered content, including live win probabilities, tactical insights, player match-ups and pre-match analysis, delivered through the Phi Edge platform.
Eamonn Wilmott, Chairman & CEO of Phi Edge, said:
"This partnership represents an important milestone for the company and a significant endorsement of everything our team has been building. Cricket has the world's most knowledgeable and passionate supporters, yet the way fans follow the sport has changed remarkably little in the digital age. We believe AI can transform how the game is experienced by analysing the moments that matter and predicting what might happen next. CPL has consistently been one of the most progressive organisations in world cricket, making it the ideal partner for the launch of Phi Edge."
The partnership will launch ahead of the opening match of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League on August 7th, with Phi Edge delivering AI predictions, insights and analysis throughout the tournament.
