The round-robin format will be used. Every team plays each other a couple of times before the playoffs. Your wins and losses fix where you sit on the table. Only the top four teams make it through to the knockout games.
Playoffs kick off December 30, then we get more action January 1 and 2. The big final happens January 4 to decide the ILT20 2025-2026 winners. Dubai Capitals won last year with an insane run chase that nobody expected.
Six franchises are scrapping for table glory this season around here. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Desert Vipers, Dubai Capitals, Gulf Giants, MI Emirates, and Sharjah Warriors. Every single match matters because the points table shifts constantly throughout December.
Grabbing Your Tickets
Tickets go on sale online or you can buy them at the grounds. Prices change based on which match you’re watching and where you sit. Finals and playoffs cost you more obviously than regular league games.
ILT20 2025-2026 looks stacked with better talent than before from everywhere. Dubai Capitals want back-to-back titles badly after tasting victory last time. Keep checking that schedule because timings sometimes get moved around at the last minute.
