WARWICKSHIRE’S T20 teams will rebrand for the 2026 season with the club to drop their previously adopted Birmingham name.
The club will revert to their Warwickshire Bears name in the T20 Blast from the 2026 campaign and beyond.
Warwickshire switched to the Birmingham Bears name from the 2014 season for their T20 team only.
However, the club now want to unite the men’s and women’s teams under one identity looking to the future.
Warwickshire chief executive, Stuart Cain said: “Warwickshire has and always will be at the heart of who we are. It’s our identity and has been for well over a century.
“Over a decade ago, the club decided to be bold with a city-based name for our T20 team, and it saw attendances grow to record levels and attract new fans to the Bears.
“But with our long-term future in mind, and following feedback from members through the Members’ Committee, now is the right time for change.
“We represent the county, and that’s what returning to Warwickshire Bears is about.”
Warwickshire’s Edgbaston home will again be rebranded as EdgBLASTon for the entirety of the upcoming T20 Blast season.
