The EUT20 Belgium is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Belgium, organised by Destino Legends Sports LLC in partnership with Belgian Cricket Federation. Established in 2025, the league was created to professionalize the sport in mainland Europe and provide a high-performance platform for local Belgian talent to compete alongside global international stars.
The league features five franchise teams representing major Belgian cities. The inaugural season is scheduled to take place in Brussels from 6 to 14 June 2026.
Cricket in Belgium has historically been an Associate-level sport with a growing grassroots base. In October 2025, following the success of franchise models globally, Cricket Belgium signed a long-term agreement with Destino Legends Sports LLC to launch a premier franchise competition.
Unlike previous domestic tournaments, EUT20 was designed as a hub for European cricket, utilizing Belgium's central geographic location to attract players from both Full Member and Associate nations. Former England World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan was appointed as the Global Brand Ambassador to provide international credibility and strategic oversight.
In late 2025, the league invited international investors for franchise ownership. Six cities were selected based on their sporting infrastructure and local cricket communities: Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Leuven, and Liege. However, one of the originally planned franchise team from Leuven was not announced by EUT20 Belgium for reasons that are not yet known, and also did not participate in the player draft held on 24 March 2026.
The league's primary mission is the (2 - 4 - 4 - 6) development model, which mandates the inclusion of local Belgian players in every starting XI to ensure the long-term growth of the Belgium national cricket team.
The EUT20 Belgium follows a standard franchise T20 format:
Teams acquire players through a centralized player draft. Each 18-member squad must follow strict roster requirements:
The league comprises six franchises based in major urban centers across Belgium.
The league has targeted a global audience, focusing on Europe and the Indian subcontinent. Broadcast partnerships for the 2026 season include negotiations with major sports networks to ensure coverage in multiple languages, including English, Dutch, and French.
