Background

According to ESPNcricinfo, the dates of the tournament window for the three seasons between 2025 and 2027 were sent to franchises ahead of the 2025 auction.

Format

Each team is expected to play twice against the teams in their group and the team in the same row in the other group, and once against the remaining four teams in the other group. The top four teams based on the most aggregated points or net run rate are expected to qualify for the playoffs after the league stage is completed. [4]
