NPL Season 3 to begin on October 26, final on November 21

The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has officially set the dates for the third season of the Nepal Premier League (NPL), a significant franchise cricket event in the country. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 26 and will culminate with its final match on November 21. This announcement clarifies earlier speculation that the league might coincide with the Dashain festival, which begins on November 6. However, it remains uncertain whether matches will continue through the Tihar festival, which runs from November 6 to November 12.

The TU International Cricket Ground, a central venue for Nepali cricket, is the likely location for the third consecutive season. Organizers have already completed the domestic player auction on July 6, and teams are now actively engaged in securing foreign talent to bolster their rosters. The league's progression signals a continued effort to develop and promote franchise cricket within Nepal, providing a platform for both domestic and international talent.
