The first week of November 2026 belongs to the leagues. While the international calendar builds toward its midweek fixtures, the T20 circuit delivers two champions in two days: the Hong Kong Sixes crowns its Cup, Bowl and Plate winners on finals day in Kowloon on Sunday, and the NCL GT20 Canada settles its Caribbean edition with semi-finals and a final in St Vincent on Sunday and Monday. Alongside the silverware, the Nepal Premier League plays nine matches across the week in Kirtipur, and Pakistan's first-class season opens with the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. Below is the complete day-by-day schedule, with every start time in the venue's local time.

Sunday, 1 November — Finals Day in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Sixes, Cup Final — 3:10 PM HKT, Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground, Kowloon
The Hong Kong Sixes 2026 reaches its climax on Sunday with finals day at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Kowloon. The Cup Final — the tournament's main event — starts at 3:10 PM local time, closing out three days of six-a-side cricket that began on 30 October. The finalists are decided across the first two days of the tournament, so by Sunday afternoon Kowloon will know exactly which two sides are playing for the Cup.
The six-a-side format makes this the fastest silverware of the week: every match is a sprint, and the Cup final is where the tournament's entertainers have one last short-format shootout to lift the trophy.
Bowl Final and Plate Final — 1:20 PM and 2:15 PM HKT
Before the Cup is decided, the day's undercard settles the tournament's other two trophies. The Bowl Final starts at 1:20 PM local time, followed by the Plate Final at 2:15 PM — both at the same Kowloon venue. The morning session fills out the final standings with three placement play-offs: the 11th/12th-place play-off at 9:40 AM, the 7th/8th-place play-off at 10:35 AM, and the 3rd/4th-place play-off at 11:30 AM.
Women's Exhibition on Finals Day
A women's exhibition match between Hong Kong and China is also listed on the finals-day programme. The exact start time could not be confirmed, so it sits outside the timed schedule above — worth knowing about for fans following the women's game in the region, but not something to set a clock by yet.
Sunday–Monday, 1–2 November — GT20 Canada Decided in St Vincent
Semi-finals — Sunday, 1 November, 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM AST, Arnos Vale Stadium, Kingstown
The NCL GT20 Canada 2026 — played this year as a Caribbean edition — reaches its knockout stage at Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown, St Vincent and the Grenadines. Both semi-finals are played on Sunday: Semi-Final 1 at 10:00 AM local time and Semi-Final 2 at 7:00 PM local time. The semi-final line-up is decided by the league stage, which runs through 31 October, so the four teams were not confirmed at the time of writing.
The Final — Monday, 2 November, 7:00 PM AST, Arnos Vale Stadium, Kingstown
The GT20 Canada final is played under lights on Monday evening, starting at 7:00 PM local time at the same venue. The winners of Sunday's two semi-finals meet for the title — the second T20 trophy lifted in as many days to open the week.
Nepal Premier League — Nine Matches, 1–7 November
The Nepal Premier League 2026 plays nine matches across the week, all at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur. The season runs from 26 October to 21 November, with the final on 21 November, so this week sits in the heart of the league stage. There are no NPL matches on 4 or 8 November.
The week opens on Sunday with Janakpur Bolts vs Pokhara Avengers at 4:30 PM local time. Monday is a double-header: Karnali Yaks vs Kathmandu Gurkhas at 12:30 PM, then Sudurpaschim Royals vs Chitwan Rhinos at 4:30 PM. Tuesday brings Biratnagar Kings vs Janakpur Bolts at 12:30 PM. After the Wednesday break, Thursday is another double-header — Janakpur Bolts vs Lumbini Lions at 12:30 PM and Biratnagar Kings vs Kathmandu Gurkhas at 4:30 PM. Friday doubles up again with Karnali Yaks vs Sudurpaschim Royals at 12:30 PM and Chitwan Rhinos vs Pokhara Avengers at 4:30 PM, before the week closes on Saturday with Kathmandu Gurkhas vs Lumbini Lions at 4:30 PM.
Eight franchises contest the league — Janakpur Bolts, Pokhara Avengers, Karnali Yaks, Kathmandu Gurkhas, Sudurpaschim Royals, Chitwan Rhinos, Biratnagar Kings and Lumbini Lions — and with the final still two weeks away, every one of these nine fixtures feeds directly into the playoff race.
Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Begins — 1 November
Pakistan's domestic first-class season opens on 1 November with the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2026–27, contested across Gold and Silver divisions. The fixture list had not been published in any readable source at the time of writing, and broadcast coverage is expected to be limited — so this one is listed for awareness rather than as a timed schedule. It is the red-ball counterweight to a white-ball-heavy week: while the T20 leagues hand out trophies, Pakistan's four-day competition quietly gets underway.
