The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially revealed the ticket sale schedule for the highly anticipated HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11, set to captivate cricket fans across the country. Beginning Tuesday, March 17, tickets will become available to the public, marking the start of preparations for what promises to be one of the most exciting editions yet. Fans eager to secure their seats can purchase tickets online starting at 12:00 pm through the PCB’s official website as well as the portal of the designated courier company handling ticket distribution.
Physical tickets, meanwhile, will be accessible from March 24 onwards at the courier company’s offices, providing an alternative for those who prefer in-person purchases. This year’s PSL 11 will be historic, as it expands to include eight teams competing in a total of 44 matches. The tournament will be hosted across six major cities: Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, and Peshawar. Notably, Faisalabad and Peshawar are welcoming the PSL for the very first time, broadening the league’s footprint and bringing top-tier cricket to new audiences.
Ticket pricing has been carefully structured to remain affordable and encourage maximum attendance. In Lahore and Karachi, general admission tickets will start at Rs250, while in Faisalabad, prices will begin at Rs300. Multan and Rawalpindi will have tickets priced at Rs400 each. To ensure fair access, each fan will be permitted to buy up to eight tickets per CNIC, allowing families and groups to attend together. Additionally, Peshawar will feature a special VIP family enclosure for the high-profile match between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United, with tickets set at Rs2,000 per seat, catering to fans seeking a premium viewing experience.
PCB CEO Salman Naseer emphasized that the ticket prices have been deliberately kept within reach to attract a large and diverse crowd, reflecting the board’s commitment to making cricket accessible to all segments of society. This announcement comes alongside the release of the full PSL 11 schedule, which spans from March 26 to May 3. The tournament’s structure includes a round-robin phase where each team will play 10 matches, followed by a knockout stage featuring Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2, and the grand final.
The final showdown is slated for Sunday, May 3, at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, with a reserve day set for Monday, May 4, to accommodate any weather disruptions. Among the 12 double-header fixtures planned, Gaddafi Stadium will host three, underscoring its status as the heart of Pakistan’s cricketing landscape. The stadium will also stage the opening match of the season on March 26, featuring Lahore Qalandars versus Hyderabad Kingsmen, rekindling excitement for the home crowd.
Gaddafi Stadium holds a special place in PSL history, having hosted the first PSL match on Pakistani soil during the 2017 final, as well as the finals in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The Lahore Qalandars, champions of the last three editions, will play at least five matches at this venue, including a highly anticipated clash against Karachi Kings on March 29. This day will also feature one of the tournament’s three double-headers, promising a thrilling day of cricket action.
Elsewhere, the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium in Peshawar, formerly known as Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium, is set to host its inaugural PSL match on March 28, when Peshawar Zalmi take on Rawalpindi Pindiz in an afternoon fixture. This stadium has not seen international cricket since an ODI between Pakistan and India on February 6, 2006, making its PSL debut a momentous occasion for local fans. Currently, the venue is hosting National T20 Cup matches, helping it prepare for the PSL spotlight.
Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium will welcome PSL matches for the first time as well, hosting seven games in total. The defending champions Lahore Qalandars will feature in four of these matches, while Peshawar Zalmi, winners of the 2017 edition, will play three. The city’s first PSL match is scheduled for April 9, with Lahore Qalandars facing Islamabad United in an afternoon contest, further expanding the league’s reach into Punjab’s heartland.
Multan Cricket Stadium will host four evening matches, all involving the home team Multan Sultans, who lifted the PSL trophy in 2021. Their opening fixture at this venue is set for April 1 against Hyderabad Kingsmen, promising an energetic atmosphere under the floodlights. Meanwhile, Karachi’s National Bank Stadium, known previously as National Stadium Karachi, will stage six matches, continuing its tradition as a key PSL venue. It has hosted multiple PSL finals in recent years and will see Karachi Kings and Hyderabad Kingsmen play three matches each there, with Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United featuring twice each.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, which hosted ICC Champions Trophy matches last year, will be the venue for 11 matches, including a crucial Qualifier. The stadium will also hold two double-header days on April 2 and April 26. With the addition of two new teams, Islamabad United and Rawalpindi Pindiz, both will call this stadium their home ground. Islamabad United will play six matches here, while Rawalpindi Pindiz will feature in five, including two head-to-head clashes scheduled for April 4 and April 23. This expansion and distribution of matches across multiple cities highlight the PCB’s efforts to grow the league’s popularity and bring high-quality cricket closer to fans nationwide.
