With the addition of eight competing teams, the tournament has shifted away from the earlier double round-robin system to a streamlined 44-match structure. Under this format, teams are divided into groups and primarily play opponents within their own group, along with a limited number of matches against teams from the opposite group. Each side completes a balanced league campaign before the standings are finalized. At the end of the league stage, the top four teams on the points table advance to the playoffs, which follow the Page playoff system to determine the finalists. Currently, Peshawar Zalmi sit at the top of the table with 9 points, holding the early advantage in the competition.
