Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced that the sixth edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) will be held from 8th July to 8th August 2026.

The new dates for the sixth edition were finalized following the postponement of the tournament, which was originally scheduled to be held in December 2025.

The postponement was made considering the broader requirement of preparing the ‘Host Venues’ well in advance for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be co-hosted by Sri Lanka and India during February-March 2026. With this decision, the five-team tournament, Sri Lanka’s topmost domestic T20 competition, will return to a mid-year window, as in several previous editions, the SLC said in a statement.
