The 2026 EUT20 Belgium was the inaugural season of the EUT20 Belgium, a professional men's Twenty20 cricket league in Belgium.[1][2] The tournament featured five franchise teams representing Belgian cities.[3][4] The competition was played from 6 to 14 June 2026 in a single round-robin format, followed by the Playoff league and the final.[5][6]

The final was held on 14 June 2026, when the Ghent Gladiators defeated the Antwerp Anchors by 3 wickets to win the inaugural title. Ali Khan of the Ghent Gladiators was awarded the man of the match award for his match-winning performance, while JJ Smit of the Antwerp Anchors was named player of the tournament.

Background

The league was established in late 2025 to professionalise cricket in Europe, with former England captain Eoin Morgan serving as the global brand ambassador.[7][8] All matches were played at the Stars Arena in Zemst, near Brussels. Zemst is a municipality located in the province of Flemish Brabant, Belgium.[3][9]

Format

The 2026 EUT20 Belgium season followed a franchise T20 format featuring five teams.

The league stage was played in a single round-robin format, with each team playing the others once for a total of 10 matches. Following this stage, the fourth and fifth-placed teams contested a qualifying match, with the winner securing the final spot in the playoff league.

The top four teams then advanced to the Playoff league, which was played in a single round-robin format with six matches, and the top two teams qualified for the final to decide the champion.[10]
