Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026: Season 5 returns across three cities
The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 returns for its fifth edition in 2026, taking Karnataka's premier franchise T20 league to three cities for the first time. Mysuru, Hubballi and Bengaluru will all host matches, with the playoffs and final at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Two franchises enter under rebranded identities, and no team has retained the trophy across the first four seasons.
