Eleven Teams Will Fight for Silverware in Dehradun This October
The Uttarakhand Premier League 2026 gives both men’s and women’s cricket in the state equal billing across eleven days of action. The full fixture list still needs an official release, but the venue, dates and every squad are already locked in.
