PSL Set to Grow Bigger Today as Auction Gets Underway for Two New Teams

PSL Set to Grow Bigger Today as Auction Gets Underway for Two New Teams

The Pakistan Super League begins a new phase today at 4:15 pm. The PCB will host the franchise auction at the Jinnah Convention Centre. Official digital platforms will stream the proceedings live nationwide.

A diverse mix of companies has cleared the technical evaluation and will battle in an open bidding. Names from telecom, energy, real estate, agrobusiness, and global software underline the growing commercial pull of the league as it expands from six to eight teams for season 11.

Celebrations Before the Bidding War

The evening begins on a celebratory note, as Pakistan Shaheens and the Hong Kong Super Sixes champions will be honoured for their recent successes before the auction floor comes alive. Once the hammer falls, the spotlight turns musical, with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan set to perform.

Several cities remain in focus, including Faisalabad, Gilgit, Hyderabad, Muzaffarabad, Rawalpindi, and Sialkot. Two new teams will soon join Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United, and Multan Sultans.

Fans Can Watch It Live On tapmad

Fans won’t miss a moment, as the full auction ceremony will stream live on tapmad, bringing every bid, reaction, and decision straight to screens as the league shapes its future in real time.
