PSL Awards Record PKR 26.11 Billion Pakistan Media Rights to Walee for 2026–29
A bigger 44-game schedule, backed by a PKR 6.5 billion guarantee for payments, helped lift the price.
Overview
- Walee Technologies won a consolidated Pakistan TV and live‑streaming package for 2026–2029 with a PKR 26.11 billion offer that topped the PCB’s announced reserve.
- The PCB expects roughly PKR 6.5 billion per year from the deal as the per‑game value rises about 21% to PKR 148 million from PKR 122 million.
- Walee also owns a newly acquired and rebranded PSL franchise based in Rawalpindi, creating overlap between team ownership and domestic media rights control.
- Procurement rules included a PKR 6.5 billion bank guarantee, a ban on consortium bids, and disqualification of two sports channels over outstanding dues.
- Separately, Walee secured one‑year global media rights for PSL 2026 for PKR 88 crore (excluding India), with the 2026 season set for March 26 to May 3 in a window that overlaps the IPL.
