Two Trophies. One Season.

The LCCL Trophy is the flagship championship for pure corporate teams, and every player must belong to the same organisation. The Champions League Trophy is new this season: an open league for mixed teams with players from more than one company.

Every team is guaranteed five matches: three in the Group Stage and two in the Super 4 or Plate 4. The two teams that reach the Final in each competition play six.

After the Group Stage, the top two teams from each group form the Super 4 and play for a place in the Final. The bottom two from each group form the Plate 4 and play for fifth to eighth place. Points reset to zero at the start of this stage, and each team plays the two teams from the other group in its pool.

Registration is open and closes on 31 October 2026. Fill in the team registration form on this site. It takes about 10 minutes, with payment by UPI inside the form. We then email you a squad sheet and a documents folder for your players. Returning teams keep first claim on their slots.

Each competition has eight teams. In the Group Stage, two groups of four play a round robin (3 matches each). The top two from each group then form the Super 4 and the bottom two form the Plate 4; points reset and each team plays the two teams from the other group (2 more matches each). The top two in the Super 4 play the Final. Every team plays five matches, and the finalists play six. Matches are 15 overs per side, 11 players on the field from a 15-member squad, soft tennis ball (Sixit, about 80g, new ball each innings), 90 minutes per match. Points: win 2, tie or no result 1, loss 0. Teams are ranked on points, then net run rate, then head-to-head. The organiser may adjust the format where circumstances require it, and captains are told before any change takes effect.

Most Valuable Player, Orange Cap, Purple Cap and Best Fielder are decided on Group Stage plus Super 4 / Plate 4 statistics. Every team plays five matches across these stages, so every player is judged over the same sample and has an equal claim on these awards, however far their team goes. The Final does not count towards them. Each award is a trophy. Player of the Match, Best Batsman and Best Bowler trophies are awarded at every match, the Final included.

Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays only, so the season works around the corporate week. The full schedule is shared before the tournament starts and confirmed at the Captain's Meet, where every team captain reviews the format, group division and fixtures before they are finalised.

₹23,000 per team. That covers five guaranteed matches (six for the finalists) on proper cricket grounds, qualified umpires, scorers and match-day staff, live CricHeroes scoring, match photography, team intros and the award presentations after every match. Teams provide their own jerseys (top and bottom, with player name and number) and appropriate footwear.

Yes. Pay 50% (₹11,500) to hold your slot. The remaining ₹11,500 is due by 31 October 2026.

Players must be 25 or older, permanent residents of Lucknow or Barabanki, and actively employed professionals at the time of registration. Employment proof is mandatory. Competitive background is capped to keep the league corporate: state-level board players only if inactive for 10 years, A-division for 5 years, B-division for 3 years, no restriction on C and D division. Advocates, police and security personnel, proprietorship firms, freelancers, contractors, suppliers and vendors of an organisation are not considered.

For each player: two age proofs (high school marksheet, PAN card or passport, where the date of birth must match), two residence proofs, and employment verification (company ID plus recent salary slips, an HR letter, or a bank statement showing salary credits). Players aged 50 and above also need a medical fitness certificate from a registered practitioner. Captains submit the full roster with proofs before the deadline; once the roster is approved, no additions or replacements are permitted except for a medically verified injury.

A rejected application is refunded minus ₹1,000. Once the schedule is finalised no amount is returned, and teams disqualified after the tournament starts for breaching the rules are not refunded.

31 October 2026, with the season starting 22 November 2026. Returning teams keep first claim on their slots, so register early.
