Participating Teams in BPL 2026
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2026 edition features exactly 6 teams, as confirmed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) following the player auction on November 30, 2025. This is a reduction from 7 teams in the previous season, due to ownership changes, compliance issues, and a compressed schedule to wrap up before Bangladesh’s general elections in February 2026. Two teams (Dhaka Capitals and Rangpur Riders) return from last year, while four are new or rebranded franchises.
Here’s the complete list:
| Team Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dhaka Capitals | Returning; 3-time champions with a strong history in finals. |
| Rangpur Riders | Returning; consistent playoff performers. |
| Chattogram Royals | New ownership (Triangle Sports); rebranded from previous Chattogram team. |
| Sylhet Titans | New ownership (Cricket With Sami); rebranded from Sylhet Strikers. |
| Rajshahi Warriors | New ownership (Nabil Group); rebranded from Rajshahi Royals. |
| Noakhali Express | Debutants; new regional franchise owned by Desh Travels, added on November 24, 2025. |
Excluded teams like Fortune Barishal (defending champions) and Khulna Tigers were dropped for failing BCB compliance checks. The tournament runs from December 26, 2025, to January 23, 2026, with a round-robin format (each team plays 10 matches) followed by playoffs for the top 4.
