The 2023 European Cricket League (abbreviated as ECL23) was a T10 cricket competition organised by the European Cricket Network. It was the third edition of the European Cricket League and was once again held at the Cartama Oval in Málaga, Spain.
It was announced that the tournament would be taking place between February 27 and March 24, with Finals Week starting on March 20. The 30 team format from the previous edition would remain in place, with 30 'National Champions' taking part in 6 groups across 6 weeks, with the winners of the groups joining 2022 winners Pak I Care Badalona in the Finals Week to determine the overall winner.
This tournament was viewed by about 35 million people globally.[1]
