T20 Mumbai League set to expand as MCA invites bids for ninth team

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has invited bids for the right to operate one new team in the T20 Mumbai League, paving the way for the men’s league to expand to a nine-team competition.

The new franchise is set to represent the Navi Mumbai region, further expanding the league’s reach and providing a platform for more cricketers from across Mumbai and its surrounding areas. The development comes after a successful fourth edition of the league, held in June.

“The season saw strong fan interest and competitive cricket, further strengthening the league’s position as one of India’s leading franchise-based domestic T20 tournaments,” the MCA said in a statement..

Interested parties can obtain the bid documents from the MCA office at the Cricket Centre, Wankhede Stadium, Churchgate, Mumbai, from August 10 to August 25, 2026, between 11 am and 6 pm.
