The first-ever PSL auction 2026 got underway at the Lahore Expo Centre on February 11, 2026. The eight teams, including two new entrants, Hyderabad and Sialkot, assembled their respective squads following direct signings and retentions.

It is important to note that each franchise had an auction purse of PKR 45 crore, which could have been extended to PKR 50.5 crore if they had directly signed one overseas player who did not participate in the previous season.

Notably, ahead of the Pakistan Super League auction, Hyderabad and Rawalpindi (previously Multan) had the highest auction purse, PKR 50.5 Cr. each. Meanwhile, the one-time winners, Quetta Gladiators, had a purse of PKR 33.14 crore. 

That being said, let’s take an elaborate look at all the major things that happened at the maiden PSL Auction 2026.

Following is the list of the top 10 most expensive buys in the first-ever PSL Auction, held in Lahore:

FAQs: PSL Auction 2026

Q.1. Who is the most expensive player in PSL?

Ans. Bought by the Rawalpindi-based yet-to-be-named franchise (erstwhile Multan Sultans), Naseem Shah became the most expensive buy in the recently held PSL 2026 auction. Shah was bought for a whopping PKR 8.65 crore.

However, if we consider the direct signings before the PSL 2026 auction, Steve Smith remains the most expensive player in the league as he will receive PKR 14 crore from Sialkot Stallions, which is 4.53 crore in Indian Rupees.

Q.2. When does PSL 2026 start?

Ans. The PSL 2026 is scheduled to start on March 26, 2026, and run until May 3, 2026. This landmark 11th edition of the Pakistan’s premier tournament has expanded to eight teams, switched to a player auction model, and clashes with the IPL window. 

Q.3. Will Multan Sultan play PSL 2026?

Ans. Ahead of the PSL 2026 auction, the franchise Multan Sultans was sold on February 9, 2026, to Walee Technologies. The new owners will rebrand and relocate the team to Rawalpindi. Thus, in simple words, no, the Multan Sultans will not play in PSL 2026 as a brand.
