DP World ILT20 Season 4 to Begin on 2nd December Ahead of T20 World Cup
The DP World International League T20 will return for its fourth season on 2nd December 2025, aligning with Eid Al Etihad celebrations and concluding on 4th January 2026, organizers confirmed.
The six-team tournament will feature 34 matches played across the UAE, maintaining its reputation as a high-profile fixture in the global T20 calendar. The adjusted schedule ensures players will have ample time to prepare for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which kicks off in early February 2026.
David White, CEO of DP World ILT20, said the revised window was chosen after 'extensive discussions' with stakeholders. 'It was important for us to start and finish Season 4 well before the [World Cup],'
he said. 'The December-January window gives teams better access to top players and allows international stars to meet national commitments.'
Season 3 of the league drew global attention with appearances from marquee players like David Warner, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran, and Sam Curran. Organizers are expected to attract another stellar line-up for the upcoming edition.
The DP World ILT20 has quickly become a key platform in the international T20 circuit, offering competitive play in a world-class setting. With the new season strategically placed in the cricket calendar, it is poised to deliver another high-octane showcase of talent.
