How PSL 2027 squads are built
Players signed at the PSL 2026 auction were given two-year contracts. For PSL 2027, each franchise may retain up to seven players from its previous squad, then complete its squad through direct signings, trades and the player auction. After PSL 2027, a larger “grand auction” is planned, with a maximum of five retentions per team.
Until squads are officially confirmed, each team’s PSL 2026 squad is shown below, clearly labelled. Every retention or signing is added to the team’s squad page with the date it was announced and a link to the source.
