Mumbai, March 20

Cricket's greatest icons are set to return on Indian shores once again as the International Masters League returns for a highly anticipated season two. Following a blockbuster debut, the league will take centre stage from October 24 to November 14 2026, with matches hosted across Mumbai, Vadodara, and Vizag, delivering another thrilling celebration of nostalgia and world-class T20 action.

Season 1 saw India Masters crowned the inaugural champions, with the league featuring a stellar line-up of cricketing legends including Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Shane Watson, Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, and Kumar Sangakkara. Building on that momentum,

Season 2 is set to once again unite the game's most iconic names, bringing fans closer to the heroes who defined an era.

The IML made a significant impact in its debut season, emerging as the second most-watched men's T20 league in India, with a reach of 246 million across TV and OTT platforms.

Speaking about the return of the tournament, Sunil Gavaskar, League Commissioner, said: "Season 1 of the IML reaffirmed that the magic of cricket's greatest icons continues to resonate deeply with fans. As we return for Season 2, the focus is on elevating that experience, with greater competition, more unforgettable moments, and the same enduring passion for the game. Fans can look forward to seeing their heroes back in action, and I am confident it will be another truly memorable edition of the tournament."

Season 2 will once again feature six franchise teams representing India, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, England, and Sri Lanka, with matches staged at premier cricket venues in India. Further details, including the full schedule, team rosters, and ticketing information, will be announced in the coming months.

246 million reach is no joke! Shows the power of legends. But I hope the scheduling is better this time, some matches last season clashed with local tournaments.

So happy it's coming to Vizag! We rarely get big tournaments here in the coastal region. Already planning a family trip. 😊

Great initiative. Respectfully, I hope the focus remains on competitive cricket and not just a nostalgia show. The legends still have the skills to put on a proper contest.
