The World Championship of Legends (WCL) has officially confirmed the return of Season 3 in October 2026, with the tournament continuing to establish itself as one of the most followed cricket leagues globally after two highly successful editions.
Unlike exhibition tournaments, the WCL has built its reputation around intense rivalries featuring former international stars who once dominated the biggest stages in world cricket. From India vs Pakistan clashes to Ashes rivalries between Australia and England, the competition has recreated some of cricket’s most iconic battles with legendary names back on the field.

Fans also witnessed strong performances from stars including Shaun Marsh, Shoaib Malik and Eoin Morgan, with many India-Pakistan fixtures and Ashes contests becoming major talking points on social media worldwide.
Season 3 will once again feature national legends teams representing India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa and West Indies, while Bangladesh Champions will join the tournament as the newest addition.
WCL Founder Reveals Vision Behind Tournament Growth
WCL Founder and CEO Harshit Tomar described the growth of the competition as a major milestone for world cricket and promised an even bigger spectacle in the upcoming season.
“When we launched WCL, our vision was to give fans a tournament that goes beyond cricket, a celebration of the icons who shaped the game. In just two seasons, WCL has grown into the world’s second most-watched cricket league, and Season 3 is going to take that legacy to an entirely new level.”
The tournament has gained popularity due to its mix of nostalgia, fierce rivalries and competitive cricket, with fans continuing to support legendary players years after their international retirements.
