The Nepal Premier League (abbreviated as NPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Nepal, launched by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) in 2022. The league features six franchise teams representing various cities across Nepal.

History

On 26 April 2022, the Cricket Association of Nepal secured a NPR 330 million agreement with Indian sports management company, Seven3Sports, for an eight-year tenure to organise a franchise-based Twenty20 league. Following this, on 18 May 2022, CAN revealed that the inaugural season would be run from 24 September to 22 October. The league received official authorisation from the International Cricket Council on 11 July 2022.

Initially, four franchises: Lumbini All Stars, Kathmandu Gurkhas, Biratnagar Super Kings, and Janakpur Royals, were unveiled along with their owners on 19 July 2022. This was followed by the announcement of two additional franchises, Pokhara Avengers and Far West United, on 8 September 2022. The player draft for the first season took place from 10 to 11 September 2022.

The league faced multiple postponements due to security concerns and the 2022 Nepalese general election. Originally rescheduled to begin on 11 December 2022, it was delayed further to 23 December after the withdrawal of Kathmandu Gurkhas, who were replaced by a new Kathmandu franchise, the Kathmandu Knights. The league finally kicked off on 24 December 2022, with Far West United winning the inaugural title by defeating Pokhara Avengers in the final. Dipendra Singh Airee was recognised as the Player of the Series.
