Sri Lanka Cricket has timed the sixth edition to give players match practice prior to co-hosting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2026.

Overview

The sixth Lanka Premier League will run from November 27 to December 23, 2025, featuring five franchise teams.
Matches are scheduled at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy and Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla.
Tournament Director Samantha Dodanwela said the timing aligns the LPL with next year’s World Cup to provide Sri Lankan players with high-quality T20 exposure.
