The PCB confirmed the PSL 12 window on 23 October 2026 alongside the recruitment roadmap. The 46-day window holds 44 matches, which means most teams play every third or fourth day once the league stage settles — a kinder rhythm than the compressed UAE-era seasons, with travel between up to six cities built into the calendar.
What is not out yet matters as much as what is. The opening fixture pairing, the double-header pattern, start times in Pakistan Standard Time, and the venue split — including whether Peshawar and Faisalabad finally host their first PSL matches — all arrive with the official fixture release. Any website already showing a full 44-match list with dates and grounds is guessing; this page will only list fixtures the PCB has published.
The format is settled: each team plays ten league matches, the top four advance, and the playoffs follow the Qualifier / Eliminator 1 / Eliminator 2 / Final path that decided PSL 11, when fourth-placed Hyderabad Kingsmen won both Eliminators before losing the final to Peshawar Zalmi.
PSL 11 (2026) — the season just finished
PSL 11 ran from 26 March to 3 May 2026 across Lahore and Karachi, after the planned wider footprint was centralised. Peshawar Zalmi topped the league stage with 17 points and beat Hyderabad Kingsmen by five wickets in the final at Gaddafi Stadium. The full final standings and every season's final since 2016 are on the points-table and history pages.
