ILT20 Season 4 to commence on UAE National Day
Season 4 of the DP World International League T20 will kick off on Tuesday, December 2, coinciding with the UAE's National Day (Eid Al Etihad) celebrations. The 34-match cricket tournament, featuring six teams, has been moved from its traditional January-February slot to a new window — from December 2 to January 4, 2026 — to avoid a clash with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup scheduled for February-March. Chairman of the ILT20 and Vice-Chairman of the Emirates Cricket Board, Khalid Al Zarooni, says launching the league on National Day is a tribute to the UAE and its diverse cricket-loving population. The DP World ILT20 has quickly become the Gulf region's biggest T20 league, attracting international stars like David Warner, Andre Russell, Sam Curran and Sunil Narine. Season 3 ended in a dramatic final, with the Dubai Capitals claiming the title in a last-over thriller against the Desert Vipers at a packed Dubai International Stadium. Organisers say Season 4 promises to be even bigger, with more global talent and strong fan engagement.
