In January 2025 it was confirmed that a broadly similar venture, again with the same three boards and privately funded, but organised by a committee to be put together by the three national boards themselves, and with six initial teams, had received International Cricket Council sanction to begin play in July 2025, effectively replacing the defunct Euro T20 Slam branding with a new European T20 Premier League. Scheduled for July and early August 2025, the event avoids most of the southern hemisphere and Carribean franchise tournaments, including the Indian Premier League, but does overlap with the ECB's 'The Hundred' tournament. Bollywood entertainer Abhishek Bachchan was announced as part owner of the league at the same time as its sanctioning.
