DPL 2025-26: Complete Squad Lists and Tournament Format Guide
A New Chapter for the Dhaka Premier League
The 2025-26 edition of the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) is officially underway, and it is already shaping up to be one of the most competitive and unpredictable seasons in recent memory. Fans and analysts alike are buzzing with excitement as the tournament transitions into a high-octane format that promises to reward consistency and resilience throughout the campaign.
The Format Shift: No More Super League
In a significant departure from previous years, the organizers have eliminated the Super League stage. The tournament will now be conducted in a traditional single-league format. This change fundamentally alters the tactical landscape of the competition. With no second-chance structure to fall back on, every match from the opening round carries immense weight. The pressure to secure points early is higher than ever, ensuring that there are no ‘easy’ games in the calendar.
A total of 69 matches are scheduled, comprising 66 intense league encounters and three high-stakes relegation games. While the championship title will be fought at the top, the battle for survival at the bottom of the table will be equally riveting, as teams fight tooth and nail to maintain their status in the premier division.
