EUT20 Belgium is bringing cricket to a whole new arena and India is at the heart of it

Franchise owners, icon players and jerseys unveiled in Mumbai as the Belgian T20 league makes its India push ahead of a June 2026 launch

EUT20 Belgium is sanctioned by BCF as associate member nation of ICC

Destino Legends Sports LLC, in partnership with the Belgian Cricket Federation, today formally introduced EUT20 Belgium to India at a press conference held in Mumbai. The event unveiled the league’s franchise ownership group, launched the official jerseys of all five city-based teams, and gave India its first real look at a cricket league built for something much bigger, a global statement about cricket’s expansion beyond its traditional boundaries and into entirely new markets, audiences, and arenas.

EUT20 Belgium is a professional T20 franchise cricket league and the first of its kind in the European continent. Sanctioned by the Belgian Cricket Federation as an associate member nation of the International Cricket Council (ICC). The league is scheduled to be played in Brussels from June 6th – 14th, 2026 and will be broadcast in India via Sony Sports Network.

At its core, EUT20 Belgium represents a new phase for the game. It is cricket moving confidently into new geography, new fan bases, and a future where the sport does not just remain within established borders, but grows into truly global territory.

Franchise ownership of EUT20 Belgium carries a ten-year term, with all revenue from team kit sponsorships retained by the respective franchise. Each squad is built around the league’s 2-4-4-6 development model, which mandates the inclusion of local Belgian players in every starting XI alongside international icons and emerging associate talent. The structure is designed to create genuine cricketing depth in Europe while ensuring a world-class competitive product on the field.

EUT20 Belgium’s decision to launch in Mumbai was deliberate. India is not just the world’s largest cricket market; it is the heartbeat of the sport globally. The league has been built from the ground up to resonate here through its Sony Sports Network broadcast partnership, globally recognised cricketers familiar to Indian audiences, and the involvement of Indian investors and stakeholders across the ownership ecosystem.

Robin Chaudhary, League Chairman and Managing Partner, Destino Legends Sports LLC, said, “India is not just a market for EUT20 Belgium. India is cricket. When the world’s most passionate cricket audience believes in something, that belief travels. We are here in Mumbai because we want Indian fans, Indian broadcasters, and the Indian cricket ecosystem to see this league as their own. EUT20 Belgium will be in Indian living rooms from June, and we intend to earn our place there every single match.”

Eoin Morgan, League Ambassador, EUT20 Belgium, said, “EUT20 Belgium is not just a cricket league. It is a statement about where this sport is going. Europe has long been an untapped frontier for franchise cricket, and Belgium, at the heart of the continent, is exactly the right place to plant that flag. This is cricket expanding beyond traditional boundaries and reaching audiences that have never had a league to truly call their own. The calibre of players, the broadcast infrastructure, and the ICC backing make this a serious, credible competition. I am proud to be part of it.”
