Eight sides will take part in the tournament: Birmingham Phoenix, Oval Invincibles, Northern Superchargers, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire.

The tournament was initially set to get underway in 2020, but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Squads for the 2020 competition were initially selected through a draft that took place in October 2019.

Teams were able to retain as many players as they’d like from their 2020 squad during the retention window, which closed at the end of January 2021. A draft took place on February 22, with the results announced on February 23. Prior to the tournament starting there will also be the option for a final Wildcard pick.

Here are how the men’s squads currently shape up:
