A total of seven (7) teams, namely Premium Afghans, Premium Americans, Premium Aussies, Premium Canadians, Premium Indians, Premium Pak and Premium Windies (Defending Champions from the inaugural edition), will play each other in a single round-robin group stage format, followed by the knock-out stage.

With the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup set to take place in the US in June, Canadian players will have the opportunity to play as a team in a franchise-based competition and gain valuable experience ahead of the showpiece event.
