PSL 2025 Returns: What’s New and Where to Watch
The wait for the PSL 2025 action is finally over. This season marks a decade since Pakistan’s flagship T20 franchise league took center stage, and fans have had to navigate more surprises than ever before. After a mid-tournament break—an unusual twist for the PSL—the league roared back to life on May 17, extending the season into late May.
The league had been running smoothly until an unexpected suspension forced organizers to hit pause. Originally, the grand finale was scheduled for May 18, but the break pushed key knockout games and the final even further down the calendar. Cricket fans now have until May 25 to enjoy the new climax, with the last handful of games set in Rawalpindi and Lahore—the heartlands of Pakistani cricket. Earlier matches spread across Multan and Karachi kept local fans buzzing, despite the schedule changes.
How Indian Fans Can Catch PSL 2025 Live
Cable sports channels in India aren’t airing the PSL this year, a letdown for those who like flicking through the remote. Instead, the tournament is going digital—fans can reliably stream every match on FanCode’s app and website or tune into Sports Central’s YouTube channel for a free alternative. No subscriptions to big satellite packages, no complicated logins—just grab your phone, tablet, or computer and jump straight into the action.
If you’re planning your evenings around PSL, here are the critical fixtures you should scribble in your diary:
- Opening match: April 11 (Islamabad United vs Lahore Qalandars)
- Qualifier: May 13
- Eliminator 1: May 16
- Eliminator 2: May 18
- PSL Final: May 25
All matches stick to a double round-robin format, meaning more games to catch your favorite teams in action.
International cricket buffs outside India have their own streaming options. In the USA, Willow TV is the go-to, both for cable viewers and those using popular streaming services like Sling or Fubo. Wherever you are—be it down under in Australia or across the UK—it’s best to check your local packages or see if platforms are geo-blocked.
This season has its usual share of stars, with household names like Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi leading the charge. Several high-profile overseas players, too, bring extra flair to the PSL mix. For those obsessed with stats or looking to flex their fantasy cricket expertise, Cricket.com is running games and contests throughout the league.
As matches roll on, Rawalpindi and Lahore turn into cricket carnivals—expect packed stands, late-night firework shows, and plenty of on-field drama as six teams scramble for the PSL X trophy.
