MP Premier League: Number of franchises increased

Bhopal, May 14 (UNI) The Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) 2026 gets bigger and more exciting this season with the addition of five new teams across the men’s and women’s competitions. The men’s tournament, which previously featured seven franchises, will now have 10 teams competing for the title after the inclusion of three new sides. The men’s competition will now feature teams representing Ujjain and Nimar, while the women’s tournament will see the addition of a franchise from Gwalior.
The women’s tournament has also seen significant growth. Two new franchises have been added, increasing the total number of teams from three to five. The move is being seen as a major boost for women’s cricket in Madhya Pradesh, giving more players a platform to showcase their talent. The expansion is expected to make the competition tougher and provide opportunities to more young cricketers from across the state.
Reflecting on the new additions, former MPL Chairman Mahanaaryaman Scindia said, “This is a very positive step for the growth of the competition. The addition of new teams in both the men’s and women’s tournaments will create more opportunities for players and help us discover fresh talent from different parts of Madhya Pradesh. We want the league to continue growing and becoming a strong platform for young cricketers. I wish all the teams the very best and hope fans enjoy an exciting season.”
