HBL PSL 11 marked the league’s first eight-team season. Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindi Pindiz joined the six established franchises for a 44-match tournament played from 26 March to 3 May 2026.

PSL 2026 venues

The schedule used Faisalabad, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Peshawar and Rawalpindi. Faisalabad and Peshawar staged PSL matches for the first time, while Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium carried the heaviest match allocation.

How the expanded format worked

Each team was scheduled for ten league-stage matches before the top four advanced to the knockout phase. The expanded structure increased the number of fixtures without changing the basic route from league table to qualifier, eliminators and final.
