Season 3 of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) is set to get underway with much fanfare and fervour. The tournament will commence on October 3 and will run till October 18 in the United Arab Emirates. The two venues for the season are the Dubai International Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Ground.
The 2025 season of the tournament saw South Africa Champions lift their maiden title, beating Pakistan champions, who were also finalists in the 2024 season.

The tournament will get underway on October 3 with a marquee clash between India Champions and Australia Champions at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, and will be followed by an all-Asian clash between Pakistan Champions and the newly-formed Bangladesh Champions.
Defending champions South Africa Champions will get their campaign underway on October 4 against the West Indies Champions on Sunday, October 4, in Sharjah.
