The wait is finally over for cricket fans in Pakistan and across the world. The HBL PSL 11 is here, and it is bigger than anything we have seen before. This year, the tournament has grown to eight teams, making the competition tougher and the matches more exciting.
If you are looking for the official PSL 2026 schedule, you are in the right place. We have put together a simple guide that covers every match, every venue, and all the timings. You can also find a link to download the full schedule as a PDF so you never miss a ball.
Why PSL 11 is a Game Changer
For the last ten years, the Pakistan Super League has been the heartbeat of cricket in the country. But 2026 marks a new era. For the first time, we have two brand new teams joining the race. This means more matches, more local talent, and more cities hosting the games.
The move from six teams to eight has changed the entire structure. We now have 44 matches in total. This expansion shows how much the league has grown and how much the fans love their cricket.
HBL PSL 11 Match Venues for 2026
One of the best things about this season is the choice of venues. The PCB has worked hard to bring cricket to more cities. Fans in Faisalabad and Peshawar have waited a long time, and this year, their stadiums are ready for the spotlight.
Here are the main cities hosting the matches:
- Lahore: Gaddafi Stadium (The home of the final)
- Karachi: National Bank Stadium
- Multan: Multan Cricket Stadium
- Rawalpindi: Pindi Cricket Stadium
- Peshawar: Arbab Niaz Stadium
- Faisalabad: Iqbal Stadium
Having matches in six different cities allows more people to watch their heroes live. It also helps local businesses and brings a festive feel to the entire country.
