Venues

On 24 July 2021, PCB announced that the seventh season of PSL will be held in January and February 2022 with all matches taking place in Pakistan. ^{[11] [12]} The National Stadium, Karachi, would host 15 matches, while the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, would host 19 matches including the playoffs. ^[13]

On 30 December 2021, National Command and Operation Center issued that only fully vaccinated people will be allowed to gather at the stadiums, after potentially lifting the restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. ^[14] Tickets sale started from 11 January 2022. ^[15]

On 19 January 2022, NCOC banned the entry for kids under age of 12 as they were not eligible for vaccination yet, and issued that only 25 percent crowd will be allowed in the Karachi phase. ^[16] On 7 February, it was issued that 50 percent crowd will be allowed in the Lahore phase initially, and then full crowd including children will be allowed from 16 February. ^[17]

COVID-19 protocols

On 5 January, it was reported that all matches will be played as per schedule under strict standard operating procedures, though the officials were worried about a surge in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, ^[21] as they neither wanted to shift the league to UAE, ^[22] nor wanted to postpone due to a packed international schedule of Pakistan cricket team. ^[23]

Therefore, a pool of about 19 local players was reserved in isolation; ^[24] these could be used in replacement in case of any emergency, like if more than 8 players out of 22 from any team test COVID-19 positive. If the whole league got struck then the winner would have been announced on playing conditions instead. ^{[25] [26] [27]}

The PCB regulated three distinct bubbles with different protocols. The main bubble had all the teams, staff, and officials. Each franchise was not allowed to meet within the hotel premises. The two other bubbles were set at separate hotel, comprising production crew and ground staff respectively. The bubbles were also not allowed to interact, and every individual should follow health and safety guidelines. Any violation might result in fines or expulsion from the league. ^{[28] [29]}

On 2 February, PCB suspended umpire Faisal Afridi from next five matches due to breaching the bubble, and he had been fined 50% of his fees from next match. ^[30]

Match officials

On 17 January, PCB announced the list of officials for league stage matches; this includes 3 Elite Panel of ICC Umpires out of 12, and 2 Elite Panel of ICC Referees out of 5, ^[31] while others are from PCB's Elite Panels. ^[32]

Since the previous deals concluded in 2021 after a three-year run, ^[34] HBL renewed the title sponsorship rights for four more years with a 55% increase from the previous deal. ^[35] PCB signed a new two-year broadcast deal on 10 January 2022 with a consortium of Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) and ARY Digital Network; ^{[lower-alpha 1] [23]} their bid was 50% more than the previous deal. ^[37] Daraz signed for the livestreaming rights on 22 January; ^{[38] [39]} they won the bid on 26 December with a 175% increase. ^[40]

In response to the broadcast rights, Aitzaz Ahsan told that Lahore High Court dismissed the petitions filed by Geo TV; one against PCB's bidding process and the other against PTV-ARY joint venture. ^{[41] [42]} Ten Sports also broadcast this season after a gap of three years. ^{[43] [44]}

However their 6 wicket loss was enough to send them to the playoffs at Quetta's expense. ^[87] Shaheen Shah Afridi's cameo of 39 with the bat sent the final game of the league stage to a super over against Peshawar. His opposing captain Wahab Riaz bowled an economical super over though, conceding 5 runs to help Peshawar Zalmi finish the league stage off with a win. ^[88]
