The 10th edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) has smashed all previous viewership records, setting new milestones for broadcast ratings and online streaming.

 

A meeting was held in Lahore between the PSL management and stakeholders on Wednesday, where detailed briefings were given on the League’s latest achievements. The briefing revealed that PSL 10 generated over 500 million rupees in gate money alone.

 

Compared to the previous season, broadcast viewership for PSL 10 saw a massive jump. Average TV rating stood at an impressive 8.5 percent. Peshawar Zalmi emerged as the most-watched team, while Lahore Qalandars topped overall.

 

In an extraordinary leap, live streaming for PSL 10 surged by 647 percent compared to PSL 9. Last season recorded 455 million live streaming views, while PSL 10 attracted a staggering 3.4 billion views. The final match was the most-watched game of the season, and Lahore Qalandars recorded the highest team viewership at 1.4 billion.

 

The data showed that urban areas contributed 53 percent of the live streaming audience, while rural areas made up 47 percent. Male viewers accounted for 67 percent and females 33 percent.

 

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said, "PSL stands as a symbol of hope and unity, delivering world-class cricket and unforgettable moments. We will make the League even stronger and more globally active."

 

PSL CEO Salman Naseer added that PSL 10 was not just a tournament but a celebration, calling it a movement that continues to bring fans together.

 

Looking ahead to the eleventh edition, PCB is exploring a major shift in the league’s calendar. Unlike previous seasons in February–March or April–May, PSL 11 is now likely to be scheduled between December 2025 and January 2026, helping avoid clashes with the Indian Premier League and ICC events.

 

Preparations are underway for expansion with two additional franchises expected to join the PSL, taking the League from six teams to eight.
