Everest Premier League (EPL), in its definition, is a franchise based professional T20 cricket league, contested every year by teams representing Nepali cities. EPL showcases the highest level of cricket domestically and is the most-attended sports event in Nepal that also gathers unparalleled viewership on TV. EPL is about creating a domain that can fit millions of cricket fans and build them an environment where they can enjoy and cheer for their favorites! It’s about delivering to our Nepali fans a grand “cricketainment” experience, the likes of which they have only witnessed as an outsider on TV. A crowd packed stadium, dancing, cheering, music, an evenly contested game, star players, young talents, millions watching on TV, the fans separated by teams but united by cricket is what EPL stands for: cricket being played at its best in the ground and an electrifying atmosphere in the stands and outside!
