ILT20 Season 4 to Avoid T20 World Cup Clash

The fourth season of the International T20 League will begin on December 2, 2025, and conclude with the final on January 4, 2026. The league has moved out of its traditional January-February window to avoid any clash with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in February-March 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.

League Chairman's Statement

"We are delighted to confirm that the DP World International League T20 Season 4 will commence on the UAE National Day – Eid-Al-Etihad – which is one of the most important days on the UAE calendar."

Participation of International Players

The December 2-January 4 timeline remains largely uncluttered, and the league expects the participation of most international players. The league CEO stated that the December-January window will provide the teams the best opportunity to access a bigger pool of players.
