The Bangladesh Premier League 2025, also known as Dutch-Bangla Bank BPL T20 2025 for sponsor reasons, will be the eleventh season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), a top-level professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh which is organized by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The tournament is scheduled to begin on 30 December 2024 and will end on 7 February 2025.

Background

The 2025 season will clash with the Big Bash League, SA20, Super Smash and International League T20. There were uncertainties in this season after a change of government in Bangladesh, since a few of the franchises may not be available in this season due to the aftermath of that incident.

In September 2024, the ownership rights of the Dhaka franchise were acquired by Shakib Khan's Remark-Herlan Group. Later on, its name was changed into Dhaka Capitals. Comilla Victorians was replaced by Durbar Rajshahi. Chattogram Challengers was renamed as Chittagong Kings.

The players' draft was held on 14 October 2024.
