PCB Finalizes PSL Valuation, Issues 10-Year Renewals and Preps Two-Team Tender

An EY MENA review has reset franchise fees, with tenders imminent for two slots from a six-city list.

Overview

  • Renewal offer letters with revised fees for the next decade have been sent to all compliant PSL franchises with a set deadline for responses.
  • EY MENA conducted the independent valuation, and PCB has scheduled joint and one-on-one sessions so teams can review the methodology and ask questions.
  • PCB will open tenders in the coming days to sell 10-year rights for two new franchises, with bidders choosing from Hyderabad, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Muzaffarabad, Gilgit or Rawalpindi, and the sale is targeted to conclude next month according to officials.
  • Media reports citing auditors say incumbent teams were advised to expect fee increases of roughly 75% to 150%, with Multan Sultans reported as carrying the highest annual fee.
  • The window for PSL 11 has not been finalized, and coverage indicates the season is likely to overlap the IPL's March–May period.
