Abu Dhabi T10 League is set to be hosted for the fifth time in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from November 19 to December 4. The Abu Dhabi T10 League is the only 10-over format cricket to be sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and licensed by the Emirates Cricket Board.

The fifth season of Abu Dhabi T10 will feature an increased number of 90-minute matches played over the planned 15 days, as opposed to 10 days in previous seasons.

"It is indeed a matter of pride that a journey that started in 2017 with just four teams has now reached a stage whereby the tournament has become an important part of the world's cricketing calendar," commented Shaji Ul Mulk, Chairman, TSM.

The recent edition of the tournament was held from January 28 to February 6, 2021, at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The fourth edition was scheduled for November and December 2020, but since the United Arab Emirates hosted the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League from September to November, officials agreed to postpone the T10.

Northern Warriors, Nicholas Pooran’s side  won the title of the last season by defeating Delhi Bulls by eight wickets.
