VCA Announces the Launch of “Vidarbha Pro T20 League”

The Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) has announced the launch of the “Vidarbha Pro T20 League”, a highly anticipated franchise-based T20 cricket tournament that promises to bring top-tier cricketing excitement to the heart of Central India.

Vidarbha Pro T20 League is set to kick off after IPL 2025

The inaugural edition of the League will be played immediately after the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. The League will feature six men’s teams, owned and operated by leading business houses, competing in a single round-robin format, followed by semi-finals and a grand finale.

Designed on the lines of the IPL, the League aims to provide a world-class platform for emerging and established talent of Vidarbha, alongside vibrant fan engagement and entertainment.

The league will bring a high-quality professional T20 League to Vidarbha. This initiative not only aims to enhance the cricketing ecosystem in our region but also to provide exceptional opportunities for local talent to shine on a bigger stage.

In a landmark move towards promoting women’s cricket, three of the six franchises will also be awarded women’s teams, marking a strong step toward inclusivity and balanced representation in regional cricket.

To ensure the League is conducted with utmost professionalism and excellence, Arivaa Sports Private Limited — who managed the successful Bengal Pro T20 League — has been awarded the exclusive rights to manage the League.

The Vidarbha Pro T20 League will be broadcast live on a premier national sports channel and streamed on a leading OTT platform, with matches enriched by a decorated commentary panel featuring former Indian and international cricket stars.

The league will be an exciting opportunity for young cricket players in Vidarbha to showcase their talent on the big stage. The VPT20 League will kick off after the ongoing IPL 2025; the dates are yet to be confirmed.
