PSL 2027 schedule status: PCB has confirmed that HBL PSL 12 runs from 18 March to 2 May 2027. The match-by-match fixtures, match timings and venues have not been released yet. This page shows every confirmed date now and will carry the full PSL 2027 time table the day PCB publishes it.

Whether you search for the PSL 2027 schedule, the PSL 12 schedule, the HBL PSL 2027 schedule or the Pakistan Super League 2027 schedule, they all mean the same thing: the fixture list of the 12th PSL season. Here is where it stands.

The PSL 12 window is 46 days long, a week longer than PSL 2026, which ran from 26 March to 3 May 2026. A longer window usually means fewer back-to-back games and more single-match days.

PSL 2027 Schedule Time Table and Fixtures

The table below is connected to our fixtures database. It is empty until PCB releases the official PSL 2027 fixtures and the PSL 2027 date and time table, and then every match, with date, venue and time in Pakistan Standard Time (PKT), will appear here and on each team's page.

Fixtures pending. PCB has not released the match-by-match PSL 2027 fixtures yet. This table will be filled in the day the official schedule is announced.
Watch out for fake time tables. Several websites already show a full "PSL 2027 schedule" with teams and dates for every match. PCB has not released the fixtures, so those lists are guesses. Some were even made for a January start that never happened.

PSL 2027 Matches: How Many Games Will Be Played?

PCB has not confirmed the format for PSL 12. If the 2026 structure is kept, PSL 2027 will have 44 matches:

StageMatchesHow it works (2026 format)
League stage408 teams in two groups of four. Each team plays the teams in its group twice and the other group once, 10 games each.
Qualifier11st vs 2nd. The winner goes straight to the final.
Eliminator 113rd vs 4th. The loser is knocked out.
Eliminator 21Loser of the Qualifier vs winner of Eliminator 1.
Final1Winner of the Qualifier vs winner of Eliminator 2, on 2 May 2027.

PSL 2027 First Match

The first match of PSL 2027 (the PSL 12 first match) will be played on Thursday, 18 March 2027. The teams, venue and start time of the opener have not been announced. In recent seasons the opening match has usually featured the defending champions, so a Peshawar Zalmi game on day one would not be a surprise, but this is not confirmed. In 2026, Lahore hosted both the opening match and the final.

PSL 2027 Final Date and Venue

The PSL 2027 final is set for Sunday, 2 May 2027. PCB has not named the venue yet. Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore hosted the 2026 final in front of a record 32,461 fans, and Karachi's National Bank Stadium has also staged PSL finals in the past. The final venue will be confirmed with the fixtures.

PSL 2027 Match Timings (PSL Timing in PKT)

The official PSL 2027 schedule time for each game is not out yet. In recent seasons, single-match days have usually started in the evening (Pakistan time), while double-header days have had an earlier afternoon game followed by the evening match. All times on this site will be shown in PKT (UTC+5). If you are following from abroad, add or subtract your time difference from PKT: for example, the UAE is one hour behind Pakistan, and the UK is five hours behind until British Summer Time starts on 28 March 2027, then four hours behind.

PSL 2027 Teams Schedule (Team-Wise Match Schedule)

Want only your team's matches? Each team page shows its own PSL 2027 fixtures as soon as they are released:

PSL 2027 Today Match and Next Match

There is no PSL 2027 today match yet, and the next PSL match is the opener on 18 March 2027. Once the season starts, the upcoming matches, today's game and the PSL 2027 match schedule with venues will be shown at the top of the fixtures table above.

PSL 2027 Schedule PDF Download

There is no official PSL 2027 schedule PDF yet, because the fixtures have not been released. Once PCB publishes the time table, we will add a printable PSL 2027 schedule PDF here, with all 44 matches (if the format stays the same), dates, venues and PKT timings. Be careful with PDF files shared on WhatsApp before the official release: they are not from PCB.

Why Is PSL 2027 in March and Not January?

From 2016 to 2024, PSL was played in February and March. ICC events pushed it to April and May in 2025, and it has followed Ramadan since then. For 2027, the broadcaster wanted a January start, but most franchises preferred March to May. Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February, so a post-Eid start on 18 March keeps the knockouts out of Ramadan and avoids January fog in Punjab. The cost is another clash with the IPL, which we cover in PSL 2027 vs IPL 2027.
