CPL 2026 teams
Seven franchises make up the expanded 2026 field, with the Jamaica Kingsmen joining the six established sides.
Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Kingsmen, Saint Lucia Kings, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and Trinbago Knight Riders will once again feature in the latest edition of the league.
With the Kingsmen part of the fray once again, Jamaica will finally have representation in the CPL following the cessation of operations of the former side, the Jamaican Tallawahs, in 2023. While Chris Gayle might no longer be part of the team, the new team is guaranteed to bring much more thrill to the island league.
