Prior to the General Council meeting, the PCB and its six franchises met at the Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday morning. According to the PCB's press release, matches will be held in Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi, with each team playing at least five home games. The PCB is also exploring additional venues for the event.

The PCB mentioned that the four playoff games could be held at a neutral venue. They also explored potential changes to the event playing conditions and ways to boost fan engagement for a more thrilling PSL 10.

“As always, we had a very exciting and interesting brainstorming session with the franchise owners on the window for Pakistan Super League 2025. The passionate franchise owners provided their all-rounded insight and views on the PCB-recommended window and playoff venues for the 2025 event and beyond,” PCB Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer said.

Following the meeting, the PCB will provide further data to the franchise owners to enable them to make well-informed decisions and share their ideas during the General Council meeting.
