Manchester Super Giants have announced Zoopla as their first front-of-shirt sponsor.
They’re rebranded this season, following RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group’s (RPSG Group) acquisition of 70% of the franchise, becoming co-owners with Lancashire Cricket.
RPSG already has the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL and Durban’s Super Giants in SA20.
The sponsorship deal is described as a “commercial milestone” for the men’s and women’s teams.
“We’re really excited to welcome Zoopla as our first front-of-shirt sponsor. It’s a significant partnership that reflects the momentum we’re building as a new team, and the opportunity Manchester Super Giants provides for leading brands,” said Vinay Chopra, Chief Executive of RPSG Sports.
Since its inception in 2021, more than 2.5m people have attended a Hundred match, with 1bn views across all its platforms.
“Partnering with Manchester Super Giants puts Zoopla in front of exactly the audience we want to reach, homeowners and movers who are thinking about their next move,” said Paul Whitehead, CEO of Zoopla.
“The Hundred’s blend of national reach and local pride makes it the perfect stage for that message, right as we head into the key summer moving months. We’re proud to be the club’s first-ever shirt sponsor and to back a team with such ambition.”

The Zoopla logo made its debut on the Manchester Super Giants playing shirts on Thursday night, when they beat London Spirit at Lord’s.
They’ll play their first home match at Old Trafford against Birmingham Phoenix on Sunday 26 July.
