The league phase will follow a single round-robin format where each team faces the others once. The top four teams from this phase will advance to the playoffs. The playoffs will include an Eliminator, Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2, and the final match.
The APL playoffs are structured similarly to the Indian Premier League. In the Eliminator, the third-placed team will compete against the fourth-placed team. Qualifier 1 will see a clash between the top two teams. The winner of Qualifier 1 advances directly to the final.
On days with double headers, matches are scheduled to start at 2 PM IST for the first game and at 6:30 PM IST for the second game. This timing also applies to the finals.
The winner of the Eliminator will face the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2. The victor of this match will then compete in the final against the winner of Qualifier 1.
