The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially rolled out a revised schedule for the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11), introducing major structural changes after consulting with the government on austerity measures.
Under the updated plan, the tournament will now be limited to just two venues, Lahore and Karachi, instead of the originally planned six cities.
Despite the shift, the total number of matches remains intact. A total of 44 games will be played across 39 days, with both Lahore and Karachi hosting 22 matches each.
The opening clash between Hyderabad Kingsmen and Lahore Qalandars will go ahead as scheduled.
As per the revised knockout structure, Lahore will stage Eliminator 1, Eliminator 2, and the grand final. Meanwhile, Karachi has been assigned the Qualifier.
