Dubai and Karachi have hosted opening ceremonies of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) since its inception in 2016.

As the PSL will be played entirely in Pakistan for the second time, season eight will start in Multan as per sources, and the opening ceremony will also be held.

The opening game of the competition will be played between defending champions Lahore Qalandars and finalists Multan Sultans, while the final will take place at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium.

The proposal is under consideration and the complete schedule will be announced after consultation with the franchises.

It must be noted that it has already been decided to hold the matches of the event in Lahore, Karachi, Multan and Rawalpindi from February 9 to March 19. The draft will take place on December 15 in Karachi.
