New Delhi, August 2026: The much-awaited 8th season of the Artists and Entertainment Cricket League (AECL) is set to return on a bigger scale, bringing together artists, performers and professionals from the entertainment and event industry for an exciting celebration of cricket.
The tournament will be held from September 28 to October 3, 2026, at the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JLN Stadium), New Delhi. The upcoming season will feature 12 teams from across India, with several well-known personalities from the entertainment and event fraternity expected to participate.
Speaking about the upcoming edition, AECL Owner Ashish Mathur said that hosting the tournament at the prestigious JLN Stadium would give the league a new dimension and provide participants with a memorable sporting experience.
“I am very excited because this time all our matches are taking place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Many people dream of seeing and experiencing the pitch there. A lot of people from the artist and event industry miss playing cricket because they used to play it during their childhood. We have created this platform so that they can come together, play cricket, stay fit and also continue with their professional commitments,” Mathur said.
AECL has emerged as a platform where members of the entertainment and event industry can reconnect with their passion for cricket while promoting fitness, camaraderie, networking and sportsmanship.
Highlighting the growing participation in the league, Mathur said teams and participants from different parts of the country are joining the tournament despite their demanding professional schedules.
“I am very happy that teams have come from all over India. People like Shadab Bhaiya have taken out time despite being extremely busy. The fact that they make time for this shows that cricket truly lives in the heart of India,” he added.
With participation increasing every year, the organisers are aiming to make the eighth edition of AECL one of its biggest and most successful seasons yet. The six-day cricketing event is expected to bring together talent, entertainment and sporting enthusiasm on a single platform.
The organisers are also looking beyond India and have expressed plans to take the league to the international stage in the future.
“This time it is JLN Stadium. Next time, if God wills, we will take it to Dubai. We want to take this message and this platform to the world,” Mathur said.
With 12 teams, entertainment industry participation and six days of action-packed cricket, AECL Season 8 promises to be a grand sporting and entertainment spectacle at one of Delhi’s prominent sports venues.
