The second edition of the Delhi Premier League will begin with the men’s competition on August 2 while the women’s season will kick-start on August 17.

The men’s final is scheduled for August 31 with a reserve day set aside on September 1.

The men’s tournament has been split into two groups of four teams each.

Group A includes Outer Delhi Warriors, Central Delhi Kings, New Delhi Tigers, and North Delhi Strikers. While Group B comprises West Delhi Lions, East Delhi Riders, South Delhi Superstarz, and Purani Dilli 6.

Each side will play double round robin (two matches — Home and Away) with three teams from their own group. This will be followed by single round robin with four teams from the other group making it a total of 10 games.

The top four teams will advance to the playoffs. The top two teams will face off in Qualifier 1, with the winner earning a direct spot in the final.

Meanwhile, the third and fourth-placed teams will compete in the Eliminator, where the loser would be knocked out. The winner of the Eliminator will then take on the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2.
