The 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021) started on February 20, and is set to resume again from June 5 and we’ve got everything you need to know about watching it live: the TV channel it’s on, each match start time, the schedule, and streaming details.

The PSL has grown into one of the cricketing calendar’s most eagerly awaited T20 events, and the 2021 edition was set to run until March 22, but the pandemic situation forced it to postponed with the remainder of the season to be played from June 5 in UAE. The final is scheduled to be held on June 20.

Karachi Kings are the title holders after Babar Azam inspired them to victory in the final, held just three months ago, with the COVID-19 pandemic having forced a delay to the playoff stages of the 2020 edition. The 2021 edition will once again be contested by the same six teams – Islamabad United, Lahore Qalanders, Quetta Gladiators, Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi, as well as Karachi Kings. Four of the six teams will advance to the playoffs, after a double-round-robin group stage, in which each PSL side plays each other twice.

The PSL 2021 re-draft took place on January 10, leaving each PSL side with a strong looking squad heading into the 2021 edition.
