The Andhra Premier League (APL) is coming back with its fourth edition in 2025. Launched in 2022 by the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA), APL has grown into one of the most promising franchise cricket leagues in India. It gives young and aspiring cricketers from Andhra Pradesh a platform to shine and earn attention. The upcoming edition is expected to be even bigger, with new talents aiming to rise to the top of world cricket.
Based in Visakhapatnam, the APL is a T20 franchise cricket tournament organized by the ACA. It bridges the gap between district and national-level cricket. Seven teams representing different regions compete in a short but high-intensity season. Just like other major leagues, APL features team retention, graded player categories, and a player auction.
The fourth edition of the APL will run from August 8 to August 23, 2025. All 25 matches will be hosted at the Dr. YSR ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The tournament follows a round-robin format with seven teams playing once against each other. The top teams proceed to the playoffs (Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2, and Final).
