Pakistan T20 franchise league, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) returns with its 11th edition, which will be played from March 26, with the final scheduled for May 3. The tournament this year gets bigger after expanding to eight-team event and will see 44 matches being played across two venues – Karachi and Lahore.
While the 2026 edition might not be a normal one, as it will be held behind closed doors, it is a massive change to its original plan, where the matches were set to be held across six cities. The PCB has taken this step due to the ongoing West Asia war crisis.
Speaking further of the tournament, PSL 2026 will kickstart on March 26 with defending champions Lahore Qalandars facing debutants Hyderabad Kingsmen at the Gaddafi Stadium; the playoffs will be played from April 28 till May 3 across the two venues. Here in this article, we have compiled all relevant details around the upcoming PSL 2026.
