Featuring four teams, a total of 15 matches will be played across 20 days. Bhilwara Kings, Gujarat Giants, India Capitals and Manipal Tigers are the four teams participating in Legends League Cricket 2022.
As per the schedule, each team will play the other side in the competition in a double round-robin format. The top two teams in the league phase will compete in the Qualifier for a place in the final while the loser will face the third-placed team in the Eliminator to qualify for the summit clash.
