Schedule Announced For PSL 10; Tournament To Clash Entirely With IPL 2025

With Pakistan national team exiting Champions Trophy 2025 in the group stage, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the schedule of the 10th edition of the PSL. However, it will be interesting to see as the schedule of the same will clash with the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.

The tenth edition will kick off on April 11 as defending champions Islamabad United will lock horns against the Lahore Qalandars in Rawalpindi. Rawalpindi will host 11 games of the tournament, including the Qualifier 1. The iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will stage 13 games, including the couple of Eliminators and the decider on May 18.

Nevertheless, they will have to battle for viewership with the IPL, which will run from March 22 to May 25 and is arguably the biggest T20 in the world currently.
