Fans can now secure their seats for Europe's newest cricket spectacle, with tickets available exclusively through Tixr.

The inaugural ETPL season will run from 26 August to 20 September 2026, bringing together six city-based franchises and some of the biggest names in world cricket across two iconic venues - Voorburg in the Netherlands and Malahide in Ireland.

History will be made on 26 August when Rotterdam Dockers take on Amsterdam Flames in the first-ever match in ETPL history.

Voorburg will host the opening phase of the competition before the action moves to Malahide for the remainder of the league stage, culminating in the Qualifier and the inaugural Final.The opening week will also feature an all-Irish clash as Belfast Wolves take on Dublin Guardians on the morning of 27 August, followed later that day by an all-Scottish derby between Edinburgh Castle Rockers and Glasgow Cosmic. Played in a double round-robin format, each franchise will face every other team twice.

The league leaders will progress directly to the Final, while the second and third-placed teams will contest the Qualifier for the remaining championship berth. Bringing together global T20 stars alongside leading players from Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands, ETPL promises a month of world-class cricket while accelerating the growth of the sport across Europe.
