The players auction for the 2026 Bangladesh Premier League was held on 30 November 2025, at 4 PM (BST). Each franchise had to sign at least 13 locals and 2 overseas from the auction. Each team could spend a maximum of 4.5 crore BDT on locals and USD 350,000 on overseas players in the auction. Local players were dIvided in six categories and overseas were divided in five categories. The auctioneer was Orman Rafi Nizam, and the presenters were Samannoy Ghosh and Srabonno Towhida.
Background The first two editions of the BPL (2012 and 2013) utilized an auction system for franchises to acquire players for their squads. However, from 2015 to 2025, players were selected through a draft system.
With IMG taking over the organization of the BPL this season, franchises advocated for the return of the auction system. As a result, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has reintroduced the auction system for this BPL season.
