The Abu Dhabi T10 league is entering a new phase. The tournament now has a new management team and a new owner.

Abu Dhabi Cricket & Sports Hub (ADCSH) has taken over the majority ownership of the T10 championship. ADCSH is a part of the local government. They will also control the commercial rights of the league. From now on, the Abu Dhabi T10 will be an Abu Dhabi owned and managed competition.

ADCSH will run the tournament as a long term national sporting asset. They will have support from the Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).

The 2026 edition will happen from November 7 to 20 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium. This will be the first full season under the new management.

Eight teams will be invited to take part. The league will soon share more details about how new owners can join through an “Invitation To Tender” process.

His Excellency Aref Al Awani, Chairman of ADCSH, said this is a smart move for the league. He said it will bring better governance and help the tournament grow globally. He added that the T10 format is fast and exciting, and the goal is to make it a proud sporting asset for Abu Dhabi.

Khalid Al Zarooni, Vice Chairman of ECB, also shared his support for the new setup.
