Pakistani cricket fans, mark your calendars! The Pakistan Super League is making a comeback, and it’s bringing a big surprise with it. According to recent reports, the PCB is reshuffling the PSL schedule, with PSL 11 expected to kick off in December 2025 and run through January 2026, a major break from the tournament’s usual February –March slot.

This shift is part of a larger plan by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to avoid clashes with Pakistan’s international commitments and global events. With the international cricket calendar getting tighter each year, the board wants to secure a clean window for the PSL, ensuring top local and international players are fully available and fans get uninterrupted T20 action.

And it doesn’t stop there. PSL 12 is already penciled in for early 2027, likely between January and February. This will bring the tournament back closer to its traditional window pre-COVID, while still keeping an eye on player availability and international tour schedules.

What This Means for Fans and Franchises

• More Planning Time: Franchises now have a clearer timeline to manage international recruitment, logistics, and sponsorships.

• Big Stars Incoming: With fewer scheduling conflicts, PSL can aim for stronger international lineups, think bigger names, higher stakes.

• Winter Cricket Vibes: Hosting matches in December and January could bring challenges like weather and competition with other leagues, but it also gives fans something exciting in Pakistan’s off-season.

The move reflects PCB’s broader vision to make PSL one of the top leagues

globally, ensuring player well-being, and maximizing viewership and sponsorship opportunities.

After a thrilling PSL 10 just wrapped up, this early buzz for PSL 11 is exactly the kind of energy cricket fans needed. Now the countdown begins.
