2025–26 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2026) was the 12th season of the Bangladesh Premier League, a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh that is organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The season commenced on 26 December 2025, and the final was held on 23 January 2026.[1][2][3][4] Rajshahi Warriors beat Chattogram Royals in the final by 63 runs and won their second title.
Background
The 2025–26 BPL season overlapped with the BBL 15, SA20 2026, Super Smash 2025–26 and ILT20 2025–26.
During the previous season, payment-related issues involving Durbar Rajshahi and Chittagong Kings were reported.[5][6] For the 2025–26 season, the Bangladesh Cricket Board disqualified teams that failed to submit the required documentation.[7]
The 2026 general elections were also a reason for organising the BPL with fewer teams to complete the competition before the election.[8]
The Chattogram franchise was acquired by Triangle Sports and renamed Chattogram Royals.[9] The Rajshahi franchise also underwent a change in ownership, with Nabil Group of Industries taking over and renaming the team Rajshahi Warriors.[9] The Sylhet franchise came under new ownership by Cricket With Sami and was renamed Sylhet Titans.[9] Noakhali Express was introduced as a new franchise after being acquired by Desh Travels.[10][11] The Khulna Tigers and Fortune Barishal franchises did not participate in the season.[12]
The auction took place on 30 November 2025.[13] Pakistan based company, TPT - Trans Production & Technologies won the official broadcasting rights for the 2025-26 BPL - Bangladesh Premier League replacing Real Impact.[14]
On 25 December 2025, Triangle Sports terminated the ownership of Chattogram Royals, and the Bangladesh Cricket Board took charge.[15][16]
Opening Ceremony
An opening ceremony had been previously planned to be on 23 December 2025 in Dhaka ahead of the opening game of this season of the BPL. But later, due to security concerns, BCB had decided to arrange an opening ceremony shortly before the opening game at Sylhet on 26 December 2026, and so the scheduled time of the first two matches of the first day of BPL got delayed by 1 hour and 45 minutes, respectively. Therefore, the opening game between Sylhet Titans and Rajshahi Warriors commenced at 3:00 pm and the second match between Noakhali Express and Chattogram Royals at 7:45 pm local time which had been previously scheduled at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm, respectively. The opening ceremony was held in two phases. The first phase was before the start of the first match of the day, and the second phase was held in the interval between the two matches of the opening day.[17]
