About NPL Cricket League

About this website

NPL Cricket League is an independent fan guide. We are not the Cricket Association of Nepal, a franchise, a broadcaster or a ticketing provider.

Our pages connect fans to source-linked team information, fixture status and practical viewing details.

The 2026 season

Nepal Premier League Season 3 is scheduled for October 26–November 21, 2026. All 32 fixtures — 28 league matches plus four playoff games — will be played at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur. CAN released the full fixture list on September 20, 2026: the season opens on October 26 with Lumbini Lions vs Sudurpaschim Royals at 5:00 PM NST, and the Grand Finale is on Saturday, November 21.

Data Sources and Handling

Each roster record carries a source. Retentions, auction listings and overseas signings are labelled separately. Conflicting reports remain flagged rather than being silently treated as final. Historical and international statistics must carry their own season, format and source.

Missing data is not zero. The 2026 player statistics remain unavailable until matches produce verified scorecards.

Corrections

Send the page URL, the disputed detail and a supporting source through our contact form. The form prepares an email draft for you to review and send.

Reading our season records

A source-review date tells you when the listed information was checked; it is not a player signing date or a fixture announcement date. Historical news should be read with its publication date and any correction notice. The team and auction directories distinguish recruitment records from confirmed match selection.

Our privacy policy, terms of service and independence disclaimer explain the website’s scope. The site does not issue match tickets, accreditation or official tournament announcements.

Editorial standards

Every roster record carries a source. Retentions, auction listings and overseas signings are labelled separately, because a player bought at auction and a player signed directly are confirmed in different ways. Where dated reports disagree — and they sometimes do on aggregate auction counts or signing details — the disagreement stays flagged instead of being silently resolved in favour of one version.

Fixture information comes from the dated fixture announcement (20 September 2026); broadcast and ticketing rights from the September 2026 rights announcements (NetTV worldwide OTT, Himalaya Television Network for Nepal TV, eSewa for ticketing). A source-review date on a page tells you when the information was last checked — it is not a signing date or an announcement date.

What we do not publish: results before matches are played, predicted playing XIs presented as confirmed, betting odds, or "confirmed" signings that no dated report supports. Missing data is shown as missing, not filled in.
