Madhya Pradesh League 2026 Schedule – Fixtures & Teams Info

The Madhya Pradesh League returns for its biggest season yet, running from 3 to 26 June 2026 with 48 T20 matches across 24 days. Ten men’s franchises feature this time, an expansion that includes three new sides, with every match staged in Indore.

This is the state’s only BCCI-approved franchise T20, and Season 3 has pulled in genuine headline names. Rajat Patidar, Venkatesh Iyer, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen and Kumar Kartikeya all feature, a clear step up in profile from the league’s first two editions.

With ten teams, the league stage runs as a single round-robin in which every side plays the other nine once, producing 45 matches. The top four on the table advance to the knockouts, with two semi-finals on 25 June and the final the following evening (Source: MPCA).

What to Look Out For at the Madhya Pradesh League 2026

The most significant thread is the calibre of player on show. Pulling in IPL names like Patidar, Venkatesh Iyer, Avesh Khan and Kuldeep Sen lifts a state league into genuine talent-pathway territory, giving local cricketers the chance to test themselves against international-standard opposition without leaving Indore. 

That is exactly how state competitions start to matter beyond their borders. Watch the new morning slots, a fresh scheduling wrinkle that stacks some days with cricket from breakfast to late evening, and watch the contests within contests. 

Patidar against Avesh Khan on 11 June, and Venkatesh Iyer’s Panthers meeting Kumar Kartikeya’s mystery spin on 16 June. With all ten teams chasing only four knockout berths, a tightly packed 24-day run-in leaves little room for a slow start.
