Dhaka Premier League to begin May 4 under single-league format

The Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPDCL) 2025-26 season is set to get underway on May 4 and will run until June 11, with matches scheduled across six venues.

The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM), in coordination with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), has confirmed that this year’s competition will be played in a single-league format.

As part of the revised structure, the Super League and Relegation League phases have been scrapped for the upcoming season.

A total of 66 matches will be played, with reserve days allocated to ensure fixtures can be completed in case of interruptions.

Under the format, the team finishing at the top of the points table will be crowned champions, while the runners-up will be determined by the second-placed finish.

The bottom two teams in the standings will be relegated to the Dhaka First Division Cricket League.
