October 2026: the tri-series
Lahore gets the second half of the seven-match ODI tri-series between Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka — four games at Gaddafi Stadium, including the final:
- Sun 25 October — Pakistan v England (general ticket Rs 300)
- Tue 27 October — Pakistan v Sri Lanka (Rs 200)
- Thu 29 October — Sri Lanka v England (Rs 200)
- Sat 31 October — Final, top two sides (Rs 400)
Pakistan play two of their four league games in Lahore; the Saturday final is the family-friendly showpiece. Online tickets went on sale at pcb.tcs.com.pk on 10 October.
How the tri-series works: each team plays the others in a round-robin — four league games per side across Lahore and the other host city — and the top two on the points table contest the final on 31 October. Net run rate decides ties, so even the “dead” games matter. The other three league games are played at the second host city — Lahore’s four are the tournament’s climax.
November 2026: the Test
The second Test, 17–21 November, follows the white-ball action — five days of red-ball cricket at a ground with 41 Tests of history behind it. Test ticket prices are typically announced closer to the match; day passes and season tickets are the usual formats.
PSL 2026: what happened in Lahore
PSL 11 expanded to eight teams — newcomers Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindi Pindiz joined at auction — and Gaddafi Stadium staged the tournament’s decisive leg, including the final in May 2026. The 2026 edition was played behind closed doors under government austerity measures linked to the regional fuel situation, so the October tri-series marks the return of crowds to Lahore’s stands. The Lahore Qalandars, defending champions and three-time winners (2022, 2023, 2025), remain the city’s team.
