International Masters League season 2 confirmed

The International Masters League (IML) is set to return for its second season. It is going to be another blockbuster with the comeback of legends on the cricket field. 

The second season of the International Masters League will run between October 24 and November 24, 2026. Mumbai, Vadodara, and Vizag will host this T20 competition.

Just like its first season in early 2025, the IML's second season is likely to run with six teams, which will be India Masters, Australia Masters, South Africa Masters, West Indies Masters, England Masters, and Sri Lanka Masters. The fixture details of the second season will be released soon. 

Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is the league commissioner of the IML. He has promised a more impressive cricketing experience from the legends in the second season. 

Gavaskar said, “Season 1 of the IML reaffirmed that the magic of cricket’s greatest icons continues to resonate deeply with fans. As we return for Season 2, the focus is on elevating that experience, with greater competition, more unforgettable moments, and the same enduring passion for the game. Fans can look forward to seeing their heroes back in action, and I am confident it will be another truly memorable edition of the tournament.”
