Throughout the league stage, 46 matches will be played across three premier venues: the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, and the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

The top four teams from the group stage will qualify for the playoffs, with the third- and fourth-placed teams facing off in the Eliminator. The winner of this match will move on to the second qualifier, while the top two teams will contest the first qualifier.
