The National Cricket League 2024 will start on December 11 and run till December 24 in Sylhet, Bangladesh.

Organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), the National Cricket League 2024 will see as many as eight teams compete in a total of 32 matches across two weeks in the second edition of the tournament.

Barisal Division, Chattogram Division, Dhaka Division, Dhaka Metropolis, Khulna Division, Rajshahi Division, Rangpur Division and Sylhet Division are the eight teams representing the seven divisions of Bangladesh and the metropolitan area of Dhaka that will feature in NCL T20 2024.

As per the NCL T20 2024 schedule, each team will play the other seven sides once in a single round-robin format. The top four teams in the standings after all the league matches will qualify for the playoffs.

The top two teams in the standings will lock horns in Qualifier 1 for a place in the NCL T20 2024 final. The third and fourth-placed teams will square off in the Eliminator to stay alive in the T20 tournament.

The winner of the Eliminator will then face the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2 for the other spot in the NCL T20 2024 final.

The National Cricket League 2024 final is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, December 24.

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium and Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium are the two venues that will host all the NCL T20 2024 matches.
