The ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League 2026 is a T20 franchise cricket tournament running from July 23 to August 1, 2026 at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence, East Bank Demerara. Chaired by West Indies cricket legend Clive Lloyd and backed by title sponsor ExxonMobil Guyana, the competition brings international franchise cricket to a country whose cricketing culture runs as deep as any in the Caribbean.
The 2026 edition features five franchises playing twelve matches across a 10-day window, competing for a headline prize pool of US $1,000,000. The full line-up brings flagship franchises from five different leagues together under one roof at Providence — host Guyana Amazon Warriors (CPL), Desert Vipers (reigning ILT20 champions), Lahore Qalandars (PSL), Perth Scorchers XI (BBL), and San Francisco Unicorns (Major League Cricket).
Format: single round-robin (10 league matches), followed by a Qualifier (2nd vs 3rd place) on Friday 31 July, and the Final (1st place vs Qualifier winner) on Saturday 1 August. Night games run under Providence's 15,000-capacity floodlights.
The 2025 final, played before a sold-out Providence crowd, saw the Guyana Amazon Warriors lift their first GSL title with a 32-run win over Rangpur Riders (Imran Tahir named Player of the Series). They return in 2026 as defending champions.
The full five-team line-up for GSL 2026 is confirmed on the official fixture release.

Located in Providence on the East Bank Demerara highway, the ground sits just outside Georgetown and is easily reached from the capital's hotel districts.
Providence regularly hosts ICC, Caribbean Premier League, and West Indies international fixtures, and its floodlit night-cricket conditions make it a natural home for the compressed T20 format of the Global Super League.

Yes — the official Global Super League Facebook page lives at facebook.com/p/Gslt20-61566534753480/ (~127k likes as of May 2026). The old vanity URLs facebook.com/GSLT20 and facebook.com/gslt20 no longer resolve and redirect to login. The tournament's other primary social channels are Instagram @gslt_20 and X @gslt20. The Facebook page has the most active daily 2026 updates (e.g., the May 27 GSL-CPL ticket bundle was announced there first).
The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is the region's long-running flagship T20 franchise league, played across multiple Caribbean venues from August into September. The Global Super League is a separate tournament hosted entirely in Guyana at Providence Stadium, with a 5-team / 12-match / 10-day format and an international franchise line-up that includes teams from outside the Caribbean — so the two competitions complement rather than replace each other.
No. The Global Super League is a T20 franchise tournament, not an International Cricket Council (ICC) event. It sits alongside other franchise leagues such as the CPL, ILT20, and PSL, and draws its teams from the wider franchise cricket ecosystem rather than from national-team ICC structures.
