LPL 2026

About the LPL

The official T20 tournament of Sri Lanka Cricket - six seasons of cricket, four host venues, and a roster of past champions led by the Jaffna Kings dynasty.

Host venues

Four stadiums across Sri Lanka - from Colombo's grand arenas to the hill-country and coastal grounds. LPL 2026 visits all four.

R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium

Sinhalese Sports Club Ground

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium

Kandy

Carved into the hill country outside Kandy, with the Knuckles range as backdrop. Generally a fast outfield and a true bounce - bowlers love it.

Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium
