The second edition of the Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) will kick off on Sunday, June 2. After a successful inaugural edition, the Maharashtra Cricket Association is back with the second edition which will provide a great opportunity for the players in the state to showcase their skills in the shortest format.
A total of 34 matches will be played in MPL 2024. It comprises 30 league games followed by the four playoffs matches. All the matches of this edition will be held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Gahunje, Pune. A total of six teams will compete in this edition just like last year.
The Ratnagiri Jets won the inaugural edition of the Maharashtra Premier League. They were scheduled to face the Kolhapur Tuskers in the final but it was washed out due to rain. The Jets finished the league stage at the higher position and it helped them lift the title.

The tournament will be played in a double round-robin format. Every team will play against each other twice. The top four teams will progress for the playoffs. The playoffs consists of Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final.
