The T20 Global League is a planned Twenty20 cricket tournament by Cricket South Africa to be held in South Africa. The league will feature eight privately owned teams, starting on November 3, 2017 with its inaugural final match on December 16, 2017.
The teams participating in the T20 Global League will be based in eight cities across South Africa.
The owners of the eight teams went through a tender process before they were eventually chosen by Cricket South Africa (CSA). In March 2017, CSA announced that it received more than 150 expressions of interest in its team ownership process, with significant interest from both South African and international parties.
The teams, owners, and home grounds were announced at a function in London on 19 June 2017:
Each squad of eighteen may include up to five international players. South Africans playing in Europe under the Kolpak rule are counted as internationals. At least three internationals must be selected to play each match and a maximum of four are allowed on the field at any time.
