The 2025–26 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2026) is the 12th edition of Bangladesh’s professional Twenty20 cricket league, organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The tournament begins on December 26, 2025, and will end with the final on January 23, 2026. A total of 34 matches will be played during the season across three venues in Bangladesh.
Six franchises are taking part in the tournament: Chattogram Royals, Dhaka Capitals, Noakhali Express, Rajshahi Warriors, Rangpur Riders, and Sylhet Titans. The Khulna and Barishal teams are not included this season due to incomplete documents linked to earlier payment issues.
Due to corruption and match-fixing, the concerned committee has imposed a ban on Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers. Noakhali Express is a new team added to the competition this year due to the prohibition of other teams. The final franchise names were officially confirmed on November 6, 2025, while the player auction was conducted on November 30, 2025. Get the complete team details of the BPL 2025-26.
