Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has officially announced the playing window for the 11th edition of the HBL Pakistan Super League, confirming that the tournament will be held from 26 March to 3 May, 2026.
The confirmation of the HBL PSL 11 window marks an important milestone as the league enters a new phase of expansion and strategic growth. With preparations accelerating across commercial, operational and sporting fronts, the PCB is positioning the PSL for another landmark season.
As part of this expansion, the PCB will host the New Teams Auction on 8 January, 2026, at the Islamabad Convention Centre, where franchise rights for two new HBL PSL teams will be offered to interested bidders. In a move aimed at ensuring transparency and enhancing global engagement, the auction will be broadcast live, allowing cricket fans and investors worldwide to witness the process.

Recent engagements with global stakeholders have reinforced confidence in the PSL’s robust business model, sustainable growth strategy and long-term investment potential, placing it among the world’s leading T20 leagues.
Over the years, the PSL has earned recognition for its high-quality cricket, competitive balance and consistent role in producing elite international talent. The league has also played a central role in restoring Pakistan’s standing as a major cricketing destination, while providing a powerful platform for emerging players to transition onto the global stage.
With the announcement of its official window and the upcoming franchise auction, HBL PSL 11 is shaping up to be a defining chapter in the league’s evolution, further strengthening its status as a premier global T20 competition.
