Lanka Premier League Sets Season 6 Player Auction for June 1
Organizers say the auction begins the roster and commercial build-up for the July–August tournament under urban-gro’s integrated IPG and Flash Sports structure without transferring league ownership
Overview
- The player auction is scheduled for June 1, 2026 at 5:00 AM EDT (2:30 PM Colombo) and will assign players to the five confirmed franchises: Colombo, Dambulla, Galle, Kandy, and Jaffna Kings.
- urban-gro, through its subsidiaries IPG and Flash Sports & Media, is the official event rights holder and will run media, activation and sponsorship activities for Season 6 as part of its integrated operating structure.
- urban-gro’s press release stresses the company does not own, operate, or control the Lanka Premier League or any franchise and that its role is limited to contractual rights and services.
- Fans can follow live auction activity, franchise bids, player assignments and real-time squad announcements on the LPL auction site at https://lpl.flashsportsandmedia.com.
- Organizers call Season 6 the first full campaign under the IPG integration but include forward-looking disclaimers that tournament timing, sponsorships, media rights and revenues depend on third-party contracts and may change; next steps are the live auction, confirmed squads, and publication of schedules and venues ahead of the July–August window.
