PSL 2025 Schedule: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially released the schedule for the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL), marking the tournament’s milestone 10th edition. The announcement comes at a time when the national team has suffered a disappointing exit from the ICC Champions Trophy, failing to register a single win in the group stage.

This year’s PSL 2025 will run from April 11 to May 18, creating a direct scheduling clash with the Indian Premier League (IPL), which is set to take place from March 22 to May 25.

PSL 2025 Format & Venues

The season opener will feature defending champions Islamabad United taking on two-time winners Lahore Qalandars in Rawalpindi on April 11. A total of 34 matches will be played across four venues:

• Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium – 11 matches
• Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore – 13 matches
• National Bank Stadium, Karachi – 5 matches
• Multan Cricket Stadium – 5 matches

Unlike previous editions, PSL 2025 will feature only three double-headers, with most days hosting just one game to ensure prime-time action.

Exhibition Match in Peshawar

In a move to expand the tournament’s reach, an exhibition match featuring former Pakistan stars will take place in Peshawar on April 8. PSL Chief Executive Salman Naseer expressed excitement about this initiative, highlighting its significance in bringing top-tier cricket to Peshawar, a city with a deep cricketing culture.

“The PSL has grown into a globally recognized tournament over the past decade. This season will showcase top international stars and deliver high-intensity cricket across four major cities. Hosting an exhibition match in Peshawar is part of our vision to expand PSL’s footprint and engage fans from all corners of the country.”
