Pakistan Super League 2023 will start on February 13 with last year’s finalists Lahore Qalandars taking on Multan Sultans at the Multan Cricket Stadium. 

The Qalandars are the reigning champions after defeating the Sultans by 42 runs in the final last year. Islamabad United are the most successful team in the tournament’s history with two titles.

The six teams competing in the eighth season of Pakistan Super League are Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators.

All teams will square off twice in a double round robin format in the tournament and it will be played in two stages. The first phase of PSL 2023 will take place at the Multan Cricket Stadium and National Stadium in Karachi between February 13 and 26, while the second stage will have games at the Gaddafi Stadium and the Pindi Cricket Stadium between February 26 and March 19. 

There will be a total of 34 games in the tournament, including the qualifier, eliminators and final. The schedule for the season is designed in a way that allows four sides  - Qalandars, Sultans, Karachi Kings and Islamabad United - to play five matches each in front of their supporters and one against each of the other teams. 

Meanwhile, Quetta and Peshawar won't have any home games since their home venues are not ready to host high-profile games yet.
