The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the tentative dates for the highly anticipated Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025. Due to the scheduling conflict with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the PCB has found an alternative window to ensure the PSL 10 goes ahead.
New Window for PSL 2025
Typically held in the February-March window, the tenth edition of the PSL will now run from April 10 to May 25. This new schedule will see PSL 10 clashing with the Indian Premier League (IPL), which spans from late March to late May every year.
The decision came after a series of meetings between PCB officials and the six PSL franchisees. In May, they met to review PSL 2024 and strategize for PSL 2025.
During these discussions, the PCB proposed the new window, examined venue availability, and brainstormed innovative tweaks to the playing conditions to enhance the excitement and competitiveness of the tournament.

Venue Details and Proposed Changes
Matches will be hosted across Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi, ensuring each team plays at least five home games. The PCB is also exploring additional venues and proposing to stage four playoffs at a neutral location.
“Some innovative tweaks and changes in the event playing conditions were explored with an aim to make the HBL PSL 2025 more exciting and competitive, as well as involve, engage, and increase the fan base,” the PCB added.
