Reimagining Cricket Fandom

The International Masters League (IML) is an electrifying T20 cricket league that brings together legendary icons from six cricketing powerhouses with large fan bases – India, Sri Lanka, Australia, England, South Africa and West Indies. More than just a tournament, the IML celebrates cricketing excellence and heritage, crafted to capture a wide-ranging audience across generations.

Season 2 will unfold in 2026 with high-intensity matches scheduled during prime-time slots, strategically positioned for maximum reach across both over-the-top (OTT) platforms and traditional television. This dual-channel strategy ensures unprecedented viewership, tapping into both urban digital natives and mass-market TV audiences.

The league’s Caravan-style structure offers a dynamic and immersive journey, with each city serving as a cricketing carnival, building anticipation and fan engagement along the way. A high-stakes Round Robin format sets the stage for dramatic rivalries, culminating in edge-of-the-seat Semi-Finals and a blockbuster Grand Finale.

The IML is not just a cricket tournament, it’s a cultural phenomenon in the making. As India’s fastest-growing sports entertainment property, the IML presents a rare and strategic opportunity for brands to ride the wave of a rapidly expanding, deeply passionate fanbase by aligning with the legends who’ve defined the game.
