1. Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore — The Home of PSL Finals
Capacity: ~27,000 Home Team: Lahore Qalandars Matches: 13–14 (including Qualifier, Eliminators, and the Grand Final) Pitch Type: Batting-friendly, high-scoring
Gaddafi Stadium is the heart of PSL cricket. It opens the tournament and closes it. The PSL 11 Final on 3 May 2026 will be played here, just like many editions before.
The stadium sits in the center of Lahore and carries decades of cricket history. The crowd here is passionate and loud. There’s an atmosphere you simply can’t find anywhere else in Pakistan.
In terms of pitch, Gaddafi Stadium heavily favors batters. The highest PSL score ever recorded here is 245 runs in a first innings. Big totals are the norm, so expect entertaining, high-scoring matches.
Lahore will host the largest share of PSL 11 matches — around 30 to 40 percent of the total fixtures are set for Gaddafi Stadium alone.
Good to know for fans: The stadium has multiple enclosures with different ticket price categories. Playoff tickets sell out very fast, so buy early.
2. Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium — The Busiest Venue of PSL 11
Capacity: 17,000 Home Team: Rawalpindi Pindiz (formerly Islamabad United home fixtures) Matches: 10–11 (including the Opening Ceremony and first match) Pitch Type: Flat and fast, batter-friendly
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is the busiest PSL 11 venue outside Lahore. The Opening Ceremony on 26 March 2026 takes place here, followed by the tournament’s first match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars.
The ground was built in 1992 and sits on Murree Road next to Allama Iqbal Park. It’s well connected and easy to reach from most parts of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The pitches at Rawalpindi are flat and hard, which makes them a dream for batters. The highest PSL score at this venue is a stunning 243 runs, one of the highest in the league’s history. Fans here love big hitting, and they usually get it.
Weekend double-headers are likely to be scheduled at Rawalpindi, which means you can watch two PSL 11 matches in a single day.
3. National Bank Cricket Arena, Karachi — Pakistan’s Largest Cricket Stadium
Capacity: 34,000–35,000 Home Team: Karachi Kings Matches: 5–6 Pitch Type: Slightly bowler-friendly, good for swing bowlers
National Bank Cricket Arena — also known as National Stadium Karachi — is the largest cricket stadium in Pakistan. It has hosted 78 PSL matches so far, making it one of the most experienced PSL venues in the country.
The stadium is located in Gulshan-e-Iqbal in Karachi. It was renamed from National Stadium to National Bank Stadium in 2022 due to sponsorship reasons.
The pitch here is different from Lahore and Rawalpindi. It offers good swing for pace bowlers, which tends to keep scores in check. The highest PSL total at this ground is 238 runs. Babar Azam is the all-time leading run scorer at this venue.
Despite its huge capacity, crowd attendance has been lower compared to Lahore and Rawalpindi. The PSL 11 organizers have scheduled 5 to 6 matches here during the group stage.
Historical note: Karachi has hosted PSL Finals in the past and remains one of the key venues for the tournament.
4. Multan Cricket Stadium — The Fan Fortress of the South
Capacity: ~30,000 Home Team: Multan Sultans Matches: 4–5 Pitch Type: Batting-friendly, consistent bounce
Multan Cricket Stadium has built a strong reputation in the PSL over the years. It’s family-friendly, well-organized, and the crowd turns up in numbers for every match. The Multan Sultans are one of the most successful PSL sides, and their fans make this venue feel like a true home fortress.
The pitch in Multan is generally good for batting. You can expect consistent bounce and a true surface that rewards clean shot-making. PSL 11 will see around 4 to 5 matches here during the group stage.
Multan hosted the PSL Opening Ceremony in a previous edition — a sign of how far this city has come in Pakistani cricket.
5. Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad — The Exciting New PSL 11 Venue
Capacity: ~17,000 Home Team: Sialkot Stallionz (serving as home base) Matches: 7 Pitch Type: Batting-friendly in April
This is the big news of PSL 11. Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad has been officially confirmed as a new PSL venue, making it the 5th city in the tournament’s history to join the league.
The decision was finalized at a PSL Governing Council meeting chaired by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. The stadium, formerly known as Lyallpur Stadium, recently returned to top-level cricket in November 2025 when it hosted South Africa for a three-match ODI series — the first international cricket in Faisalabad in 17 years.
The first PSL 11 match at Iqbal Stadium is scheduled for 9 April 2026 between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United. A total of 7 matches will be played here, making it a significant venue for the season.
The pitch in April favors batters, so expect entertaining, free-flowing matches. The stadium holds around 17,000 fans, and with cricket returning after such a long gap, the atmosphere is expected to be electric.
Faisalabad is Pakistan’s third-largest city, and this inclusion means millions of cricket fans in central Punjab can now experience live PSL action for the first time.
6. Imran Khan Stadium, Peshawar — PSL’s Historic New Addition
Capacity: ~14,000 Home Team: Peshawar Zalmi Matches: 2 Pitch Type: To be confirmed
Also known as Arbab Niaz Stadium, Imran Khan Stadium in Peshawar is making its debut as a PSL venue in Season 11. This is a historic moment for cricket fans in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Only 2 matches are scheduled at this ground — both on 28 March 2026. The first PSL match here will be between Sialkot Stallionz and Rawalpindi Pindiz. The second fixture on the same day will also be played at this venue.
The PCB has indicated that if this experiment goes well, more matches could be allocated to Peshawar in future seasons. Peshawar Zalmi, one of the most popular PSL franchises, already has a massive fan base in this region, which makes this inclusion a very welcome development.
How Many Matches at Each PSL 11 Venue?
Here’s the city-by-city breakdown of PSL 11 matches:
- Lahore — 14 matches (including playoffs and Final)
- Rawalpindi — 10–11 matches (including Opening Ceremony)
- Faisalabad — 7 matches
- Karachi — 5–6 matches
- Multan — 4–5 matches
- Peshawar — 2 matches
What Makes PSL 11 Venues Different from Previous Seasons?
PSL 10 used only 4 venues. PSL 11 uses 6. That’s a direct result of the league expanding from 6 teams to 8 teams for the first time.
The two new franchises — Sialkot Stallionz and Hyderabad Kingsmen — brought more cities into the conversation. Faisalabad and Peshawar are now part of the PSL map, which is great news for fans in those cities.
More venues also mean more rest days built into the schedule. PSL 11 includes five official rest days: 30 March, 7 April, 21 April, 1 May, and 4 May.
PSL 11 Match Timings at All Venues
- Single match days: Toss at 6:30 PM, match starts at 7:00 PM
- Double-header days: First match at 2:00 PM, second match at 7:00 PM
These timings are the same across all PSL 11 venues unless officially changed by the PCB.
Tips for Fans Attending PSL 11 Matches
Book tickets early. Tickets for matches in Lahore and Rawalpindi sell out very quickly. The Final especially goes within hours of release. Tickets are available online via Bookme.pk and TCS outlets across Pakistan.
Check your venue’s price range. Group stage ticket prices start at PKR 800–1,000. Playoff and Final tickets can go up to PKR 15,000 depending on the enclosure. One CNIC can be used to purchase up to 5 tickets.
Plan for double-headers. If you want to watch two PSL 11 matches in one day, look for double-header fixtures in Rawalpindi and Lahore. These are the best value for money.
Arrive early. Stadium parking and entry queues can get long, especially for big fixtures. Plan to arrive at least 45–60 minutes before the toss.
