The PSL 2026 schedule was officially announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on 10th March 2026, and cricket fans across Pakistan and the world have immediately circled their calendars.
Season 11 of the PSL is historic on every level.

PSL 2026 New Teams – Hyderabad Kingsmen & Rawalpindi Pindiz
Hyderabad Kingsmen — PKR 175 Crore
Hyderabad Kingsmen are one of the two brand new franchises making their PSL debut in Season 11. Purchased for PKR 175 crore, the Hyderabad Kingsmen bring a new city into the PSL universe for the very first time, expanding the league’s geographic footprint across Pakistan. The franchise opens their PSL journey in the very first match of the season — facing defending champions Lahore Qalandars at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on 26th March 2026. While they do not yet have a dedicated home ground in Hyderabad, they will play several matches at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad throughout the season. Their debut season promises fresh talent, new star signings, and the electric energy of a brand-new PSL story beginning.
Rawalpindi Pindiz — PKR 245 Crore (Record PSL Franchise Price)
Rawalpindi Pindiz are the second new team in PSL 2026 and the most expensive franchise acquisition in PSL history at PKR 245 crore — purchased by Walee Technologies. The Pindiz play their home matches at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, one of Pakistan’s most celebrated cricket venues known for its fast, bouncy pitches. Notably, the Pindiz emerged from the restructuring of the former Multan Sultans franchise ownership, with the original franchise rebranded as Rawalpindi’s own team under new ownership. Their first PSL match comes on 28th March against Peshawar Zalmi at Imran Khan Stadium in Peshawar — a historic fixture as the first competitive PSL game ever played at that venue. The Pindiz have assembled a strong squad through the PSL auction, acquiring Naseem Shah in a record domestic transfer fee of PKR 86.5 million.

PSL 2026 Format Explained
New Group Stage Format
PSL 2026 introduces a new two-group format to accommodate the expanded eight-team field. The eight franchises are divided into two groups of four teams each:
| Group A | Group B |
| Lahore Qalandars | Islamabad United |
| Karachi Kings | Multan Sultans |
| Quetta Gladiators | Peshawar Zalmi |
| Hyderabad Kingsmen | Rawalpindi Pindiz |
Under this format, each team plays two matches against the three teams in their own group, and one match against each of the four teams in the opposing group. This gives every team a total of 10 league stage matches — the same number as in previous seasons despite the expanded franchise count. The top four teams from the overall points table (not group-specific) advance to the playoffs.
Points System
| Result | Points |
| Win | 2 points |
| Loss | 0 points |
| No Result / Tie (without Super Over) / Abandoned | 1 point each |
| Super Over Win | 2 points |
