The 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will run from March 26 to May 3, 2026, marking a historic expansion to eight teams for the first time. The tournament introduces an IPL-style player auction system and will feature 44 matches across six cities, including debuts for Faisalabad and Peshawar.
Peshawar Zalmi ended a nine-year title drought by defeating debut franchise Hyderabad Kingsmen by five wickets in the PSL 2026 final at Lahore‘s Gaddafi Stadium. Aaron Hardie delivered a historic all-round performance—taking 4/27 and scoring an unbeaten 56—to rescue Zalmi from 40/4 and seal victory with 28 balls remaining.
Captain Babar Azam finished as the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 588 runs, while left-arm wrist-spinner Sufiyan Muqeem claimed Player of the Tournament honors with 22 wickets—the first specialist spinner to do so in PSL history. Hyderabad’s miraculous run, winning seven of their last eight after losing their first four, captured hearts, but Zalmi’s dominance proved too strong in the final.
