NPL 2026 Videos & Match Highlights

2026 highlights

There are no completed NPL 2026 match highlights yet. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 26 with Lumbini Lions vs Sudurpaschim Royals at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur.

Earlier embedded clips were labelled inconsistently. They have been withdrawn until their match and season can be confirmed. This page will index verified Season 3 highlights once play begins.

Where official highlights will appear

Season 3 rights sit with NetTV (worldwide OTT) and Himalaya Television (Nepal TV). Official highlights, post-match interviews and condensed replays are expected on the rights holders' own digital channels first — NetTV's app and web platform, and Himalaya Television's broadcast and online outlets. The league and the eight franchises also publish clips on their verified social channels during the tournament.

Highlights for a 5:00 PM NST fixture typically appear the same evening; 12:30 PM NST double-header games are usually clipped by late afternoon. Playoff highlights (November 17–19) and the Grand Finale (November 21) get the widest distribution.

Finding match videos safely

• Use verified league, franchise and rights-holder channels — not re-upload accounts.
• Check the season, teams and match date in each video description before sharing.
• An old clip is not a current live feed: a title containing "NPL live" is insufficient to identify the event or its rights holder.
• A highlights clip is edited coverage, while a replay records a completed match; neither proves a channel offers a current live stream.

What to watch before October 26

While waiting for Season 3, the most useful video material is build-up coverage: the September 20 fixture announcement, overseas signing announcements (including David Warner's unveiling by Kathmandu Gorkhas and Shakib Al Hasan's arrival at Pokhara Avengers), and the July 6 auction recap. For actual match action, the two past finals are the essential rewatch: Janakpur Bolts beat Sudurpaschim Royals in the Season 1 final (2024), and Lumbini Lions beat the Royals again in the Season 2 final (2025). See the news archive for dated coverage of each.

Looking for live coverage or a replay?

For live viewing, use the Season 3 viewing guide. A highlights clip is edited coverage, while a replay records a completed match; neither is evidence that a channel offers a current live stream.

Check the uploader, match date, teams and season before sharing a clip. No unverified video embeds are presented in this directory.

After 26 October: what this page will list

Once Season 3 begins, this page becomes the verified highlights index for the tournament: one entry per match with the fixture, the date it was played and the official highlight source — no reuploads, no compilations passed off as official coverage. Playoff highlights (17–19 November) and the Grand Finale (21 November) will be listed first as they are published.

Entries appear here only after a match is completed and its footage is traceable to the rights holders or the league's verified channels. A clip is not listed merely because it claims to show an NPL match.

Unofficial reuploads and mislabelled clips

NPL clips attract heavy reuploading: Season 2 footage relabelled as Season 3, other leagues' matches titled as NPL games, and "live" streams that are just old highlights on a loop. Before sharing or embedding any clip, check four things: the uploader (is it the rights holder, the league or a franchise's verified channel?), the match date, the two teams, and the season. If any of the four is missing or inconsistent, treat the clip as unverified.

This directory carries no unverified embeds. For live viewing rather than highlights, use the Season 3 viewing guide; for ball-by-ball coverage, the live scores page; for dated build-up video coverage (fixture announcement, signing unveilings, auction recap), the news archive.
