The PSL 2026 will run under a closed‑door, broadcast‑first model due to regional crisis and travel restrictions, with all 44 matches played in Lahore and Karachi and no fans in the stands.
The season opens on March 26 with Lahore Qalandars hosting Hyderabad Kingsmen at Gaddafi Stadium; the toss is at 7:00 pm IST and the match starts at 7:30 pm IST. Live coverage is available only via broadcast and streaming, with no official TV channel in India.
