Madrid Encore Sets the Stage for a New ECS Spain Champion

ECS Spain, Madrid Encore, 2026 brings five senior men’s club sides to La Elipa for six days of action in Madrid. With 23 matches planned from Monday 19 October to Saturday 24 October 2026, the field has a wide-open feel — especially with the previous Madrid winners absent.

Madrid Gets Its Encore

The ECS returns to Madrid with a fresh chapter as ECS Spain, Madrid Encore, 2026 lands at La Elipa in Spain’s capital. Across six match days, five club teams will chase the title in a 23-match schedule that promises plenty of twists.

This is a senior men’s club event, and the Cricket Espana setting gives the tournament a strong local identity. The line-up features Madrid Blues, Sonseca Sultans, Getafe Tigers, Madrid CC and Madrid United, each bringing a different ECN profile into the competition.

There is also a major historical hook. Reyes de Arganda won the ECS Spain, Madrid, 2026, but they are not among the teams contesting this Encore edition. That leaves the door open for a new name to take centre stage in Madrid.

The Teams in the Frame

Madrid Blues arrive with the strongest overall ECN standing in the field, carrying a mark of 75 and sitting 332nd in the ECN rankings. They have appeared in two ECN events before, and their profile is especially eye-catching because of matching 90 marks in bowling and fielding, backed by a batting figure of 72.

Sonseca Sultans are close behind with an overall ECN mark of 72 and a ranking of 364th. They have played in three ECN events, and their batting stands out at 80, the best figure listed among the five teams. Their bowling comes in at 72, with fielding at 73, giving them a balanced look across the board.

Getafe Tigers bring more ECN experience than the Blues and Sultans, having already played in three ECN events. Ranked 447th, they carry an overall mark of 67, with batting at 74, bowling at 66 and fielding at 63. That batting number places them firmly in the conversation among the more dangerous line-ups in Madrid.

Madrid CC have been around the ECN block more often, with five ECN events behind them. Ranked 471st, they hold an overall mark of 64, built around batting at 73, bowling at 63 and fielding at 66. That combination gives them plenty to work with as they try to turn experience into a title push.

Madrid United also come in with five ECN events of experience. They are ranked 569th with an overall mark of 58, supported by batting at 62, bowling at 56 and fielding at 58. Their challenge will be to make that experience count across a busy six-day competition.

Key Numbers to Watch

The Madrid Blues’ bowling and fielding marks of 90 are the standout figures in the tournament profile, making them one of the most intriguing sides to follow. If they can match those strengths with their batting, their overall ECN position suggests they will be firmly in the mix.

Sonseca Sultans, meanwhile, bring the leading batting figure at 80, while Getafe Tigers and Madrid CC are not far away with 74 and 73 respectively. That cluster hints at a contest where several teams have the tools to take games deep and put pressure on opponents.

The Storyline

With Reyes de Arganda not in the field after their ECS Spain, Madrid, 2026 triumph, this Encore edition is set up for a new champion.

Madrid Blues have the strongest overall ECN profile, Sonseca Sultans bring serious batting punch, Getafe Tigers offer a competitive all-round mix, and both Madrid CC and Madrid United arrive with the experience of five previous ECN events.

Six days, five teams, 23 matches — Madrid is ready for its next ECS story.
