The Caribbean Premier League  is  returning  to  Jamaica  for  the  first  time  in  six  years.

This  was  made  official  today  despite  the  name  and  ownership  of  the  new  franchise   yet  to  be  revealed,  marking a long-awaited homecoming for one of the Caribbean’s most vibrant cricketing destinations.

A brand-new jamaica-based franchise  will  signal  the  return   of  the CPL  to  Sabina  Park  for  the  first  time  since  2019  

The gap followed significant structural changes within the tournament, most notably the relocation and rebranding of the Jamaica Tallawahs ahead of the 2024 season. 

The Tallawahs, one of the league’s most recognizable teams, was  moved and rebranded in Antigua, leaving Jamaican supporters without a home franchise.

The 2026 season  will  see   four matches being  played at Sabina Park which is widely regarded as one of the most iconic cricket venues in the West Indies.
