When the PCB announces a PSL exhibition match, the first question is always: where do I watch it live? This guide covers every way to catch the next one-off showcase — TV channels, streaming apps, and tickets — plus what to expect from the spectacle. (No exhibition match is scheduled today, 11 October 2026; the most recent was Quetta vs Peshawar on 5 February 2023.)
Quick answer: PSL exhibition matches air live on the PSL’s TV broadcast partners in Pakistan (PTV Sports / A Sports) and stream on the PCB’s official digital platforms and Tapmad. The PCB confirms broadcaster and tickets when announcing the fixture — usually 1–2 weeks before the game. No exhibition match is currently scheduled.

TV: Where It Airs
The 2023 Quetta exhibition was covered by Pakistan’s sports broadcasters, and any future edition will follow the same pattern: PTV Sports (free-to-air nationwide) and A Sports / Ten Sports on cable and satellite. Because exhibition matches are PCB events rather than league fixtures, the board negotiates coverage per game — watch for the announcement, which names the broadcaster explicitly. If you have PTV Sports on your cable lineup, you’re covered for free.
Streaming: How to Watch Online
- PCB digital platforms — the board’s official website and app are the most reliable stream for one-off PCB events.
- Tapmad — Pakistan’s cricket streaming home; carries PSL content and is the likely streaming partner for any exhibition.
- Official YouTube — the PCB has streamed select events on its official YouTube channel; check on match day.
Set up before the first ball: exhibition matches are short-notice events, and streams go live close to the toss. For the story of the most famous exhibition ever played, see our 2023 Quetta thriller recap and the full scorecard.
Tickets: How the 2023 Game Worked
For the Bugti Stadium game, tickets went on sale on 30 January 2023 — six days before the match — priced at an almost symbolic PKR 20 each, from outlets including Bolan Cricket Stadium, Bugti Stadium itself, Jan Mall, Mariabad and Airport Road in Quetta. The 20,000-capacity ground filled hours before the 11 AM start. The lesson for next time: when the PCB announces an exhibition, buy immediately — demand massively outstrips supply, and the pricing is designed for a full house, not revenue.
What to Expect on the Day
Exhibition matches are T20s with a carnival atmosphere: star players (Babar Azam and Sarfaraz Ahmed captained in 2023), guest appearances (Shahid Afridi at 42), and a crowd there for the occasion as much as the result. But the cricket is genuine — the 2023 game produced six sixes in an over and a 3-run finish. Expect a full house, a festival mood, and — if Quetta 2023 is any guide — at least one moment you’ll remember for years.
