The day matches, previously scheduled to start at 2 pm and the night matches at 7 pm, have been delayed by half an hour each, with the new schedule being 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM, respectively.

Each innings will run for one and a half hours, with a 20-minute break after the first innings. The second innings is expected to start at around 4:20 PM

To accommodate all participants, BPL teams are practicing at different venues this year, as the BCB academy ground alone wouldn't suffice. BKSP, a ground more than one and a half hours drive away, is also a venue for practice for a team.

BPL will kick off in Dhaka, then it will travel to Sylhet before coming back to Dhaka and then traveling to Chattogram. The final phase will be played in Dhaka again.

In the league phase, every team will take on each other in two matches. After that, the top two teams will take on each other in the first Qualifier match. Winners will advance to the final, and the loser will take on the winner of the Eliminator, which will be played between the top third and fourth teams, in the Qualifier 2. The final of this year's BPL will take place on March 1 in Dhaka's Mirpur.
