PSL 2026 Revised Schedule: Matches moved to two cities, no crowds allowed

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has moved to Plan B to save the Pakistan Super League. Due to the ongoing war in West Asia, many countries are facing a fuel shortage, including Pakistan. Because of this, the PCB has changed the PSL 2026 schedule and decided to hold matches only in two cities, Lahore and Karachi. Originally, the PSL 11 was supposed to be held in six venues. The fuel crisis in Pakistan has also prompted the PCB to host matches in empty stadiums.

“After discussions with our security agencies, we decided that the PSL would continue as per the original schedule. But we can’t ask people to restrict their movements and then have 30,000 people in stadiums every day. We decided that as long as this crisis is ongoing, we will not have crowds at matches. This was a difficult decision, but it needed to be made. The opening ceremony will also be cancelled,” PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi told reporters on March 22.

While the PCB has adjusted the schedule to fit the two venues, the opening match between Lahore Qalandars and Hyderabad Kingsmen will remain unchanged. Lahore will now host Eliminator 1, Eliminator 2, and the final.
