CPL T20 Tournament format & Venues
Due to the smaller number of participants, the tournament has always held a double round-robin format. It is also the cause of a larger number of matches taking place. The tournament usually schedules the matches across six different countries in the Caribbean region.
Tournament format
As previously mentioned, the tournament format for all the seasons of the CPL has been a double round-robin. The tournament format for the matches has two stages: the group stage and the playoff stage.
The group stage will consist of thirty matches among teams to stand at the top of the points table. The top four teams advance into the playoffs.
Although the playoff stage will include four matches, three matches will determine the tournament’s finalists. The winner of the Qualifier 1 match will ascend directly to the finals, and the winner of the Eliminator will qualify for the Qualifier 2 match.
The loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of Eliminator face each other in the Qualifier 2 match. This match decides who will qualify as the second finalist.
Venues
Like every season’s tournament, CPL T20 2025 will also have seven venues in six different countries. The countries for the venues are: Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Barbados, and Antigua and Barbuda.
The venues of these countries are as follows:
