MAKING SPORTS GAMES THE WORLD LOVES TO PLAY. SINCE 2004.
Stick Sports is an independent mobile game studio based in London and Sydney. We create fast, fun sports games played by millions worldwide.
Two Decades of Play
It started with a simple idea: make a cricket game anyone could pick up in seconds but nobody could put down.
In 2004, Stick Cricket launched as a browser game and quickly became a cult hit — spreading across offices, classrooms and dressing rooms around the world. By 2006, the team behind it formed Stick Sports to take that philosophy further, building a studio dedicated to sports games that put fun first.
When smartphones changed gaming, we were early movers. Our titles made the leap to mobile and found massive new audiences on the App Store and Google Play. The same instinct that made the original Stick Cricket a phenomenon — simple controls, deep replayability, a refusal to take ourselves too seriously — became the blueprint for everything we build.
Today, Stick Sports is a modern mobile-first studio with a catalogue spanning cricket, tennis, football and more. Our latest title, Stick Cricket Clash, brings real-time multiplayer to the franchise with 3D graphics and competitive leagues. But the DNA hasn’t changed: pick up, play, and come back for more.
Twenty years in, we’re still independent, still sports-obsessed, and still making games that millions of people play every day.
Mobile Games for Sports Fans
We design and publish mobile sports games from studios in London and Sydney. Every title we make follows the same principle: easy to learn, satisfying to master, and built for the way people actually play on their phones — in short sessions, on the go, whenever they have a few minutes.
Our games are known for their accessible controls, addictive gameplay loops and authentic sports feel. We focus on the moments that matter most in sport — the perfectly timed cover drive, the cross-court winner, the last-minute goal — and strip away everything else.
