Lahore Qalandars are one of the two most successful teams in PSL history, with three titles. They missed the PSL 2026 playoffs by the smallest of margins and will be desperate to bounce back in PSL 2027 (HBL PSL 12, 18 March to 2 May 2027).
Lahore Qalandars in PSL 2026
Lahore won 5 and lost 5 of their 10 league games, finishing fifth on 10 points. Hyderabad Kingsmen and Karachi Kings were also on 10 points, and Lahore's net run rate of −0.482 left them just outside the top four. It was a rare miss for a side that won three titles in four seasons between 2022 and 2025.

Lahore Qalandars PSL History
Owned by Fawad Rana, Lahore struggled in the early PSL seasons before becoming the league's dominant team. They were runners-up in 2020, then won in 2022, 2023 and 2025. They are the only team so far to defend a PSL title. Their home ground is Gaddafi Stadium, which hosted the 2026 final in front of a record crowd of 32,461.
What Lahore Qalandars Need in PSL 2027
Lahore's pace attack, led by Shaheen and Haris Rauf, remains one of the best in the league. Better net run rate and one or two in-form overseas batters could be the difference between fifth place and another title run.
