The European T20 Premier League is an upcoming professional Twenty20 cricket league in Europe. The first edition of the tournament scheduled to start in July 2025, with matches to be held in Ireland and the Netherlands.
History
In March 2019, Cricket Scotland, Cricket Ireland and the Royal Dutch Cricket Association officially announced a cross-border European Twenty20 franchise tournament, the Euro T20 Slam, originally for eight teams and for which an initial player draft was held. The organisation, which was also responsible for the Canadian Global T20 tournament, announced a number of postponements in the following years, but a combination of organisational issues and the COVID-19 pandemic effectively rendered the tournament abandoned without holding one season.
In January 2025 it was confirmed that a broadly similar venture, again with the same three boards and privately funded, but with six initial teams, had received International Cricket Council sanction to begin play in July 2025, effectively replacing the defunct Euro T20 Slam with a new European T20 Premier League.
