Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh. The first edition of the tournament started on 10 February 2012 with six franchises consisting of players from around the world.
Dhaka Gladiators were the first champions of the BPL. The Bangladesh Premier League was shown on television internationally through ESPN Star Sports who made agreements to broadcast matches every day. The official channel for the BPL was Channel 9.
The original six teams in 2012 were Dhaka Capitals (originally the Gladiators), Fortune Barisal, Durbar Rajshahi, Chittagong Kings, Khulna Tigers, and Sylhet Strikers. Membership was increased in 2013 by Rangpur Riders, and again in 2015 by Comilla Victorians.
