The Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans is up for sale in a high‑stakes auction today in Lahore. The auction will decide who buys the team after the PCB opened bidding following the end of the last ownership deal. Five qualified bidders are set to bid for the rights in front of fans and investors.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took control of the franchise after the previous deal expired on December 31, 2025. Interest in the sale soared after record prices for two new PSL teams raised expectations for Multan Sultans. Several companies from Pakistan and abroad are now competing to own the team.

Among the bidders is the former owner Ali Tareen, who confirmed his group has submitted a bid but said he will only buy the team at the right price. Tareen has a strong emotional connection to the franchise but will not overspend just to win.
Other qualified bidders include both local and international firms eager to secure the franchise before PSL 11 begins. The outcome will shape the team’s future and influence commercial value within the PSL. Fans and experts are watching closely as bids escalate.
