In brief
Six weeks, seven teams and 39 matches

The tournament route
The 2026 men’s Caribbean Premier League begins at Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown and moves through Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Trinidad, St Kitts, Guyana and Barbados. All 39 fixtures use the local time of the host venue.
The expanded seven-team field creates a 35-match league phase. Each franchise plays ten games before the top four progress to the playoffs.
Three landmarks in the calendar
St Vincent hosts the first three fixtures from 7 to 9 August. Jamaica then stages CPL matches for the first time since 2019, with four games at Sabina Park.
Barbados hosts finals week for the first time. The Eliminator is scheduled for 16 September, followed by Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2 and the final on 20 September.
What supporters should check
Most league matches begin at 7pm local time, but the schedule also contains 10am, 5pm and 8pm starts. Jamaica operates one hour behind most other host territories, so international viewers should check the ground as well as the date.
The schedule page lists every fixture with team and venue links. The points table will remain at zero until the first completed match.
