# 2022–23 National T20 Cup

The 2022–23 National T20 Cup (also known as Kingdom Valley National T20 Cup 2022-23, for sponsorship reasons) was a Twenty20 domestic cricket competition played in Pakistan. It was the 19th season of the National T20 Cup, with the tournament starting from 30 August 2022 and the final being played on 19 September 2022. In August 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the fixtures of the tournament. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were the defending champions.

## Background

In August 2022, the Pakistani government announced the return of departmental cricket from the 2023 season, meaning this edition is likely to be the last to be carried out in the current format.
