The 11th edition of the league features seven teams, with Chittagong Kings, Dhaka Capital, Khulna Tigers, Rangpur Riders, and Sylhet Strikers being the other five. This season's BPL has a double round-robin format, with 46 matches to be played across three premier venues: Dhaka's Shere Bangla National Stadium, Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, and Chattogram's Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

This season marks a notable absence, as Comilla Victorians, the most successful team in the Bangladesh T20 League with four titles, will not be participating.
