New Delhi, 27th January 2026: OPPO India today announced the launch of the OPPO Premier League (OPL) 2026, a first-of-its-kind cricket league to foster employee engagement, deepen collaboration across its partner ecosystem and celebrate the shared love of sports.
Scheduled to kick off today, the Opening Day ceremony in Noida, India will mark the beginning of a tournament that will run through March 2026.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Rakesh Bhardwaj, Board Member and Director Public Affairs at OPPO India, said, “The OPPO Premier League 2026 is a reflection of our people-first philosophy in action. It is more than a cricket tournament; it is a celebration of trust and cross-functional collaboration that is driven by shared purpose. By bringing our extended ecosystem onto one field, we aim to encourage a healthy competitive spirit, and reinforce a culture where people grow together—both professionally and personally.”
The Opening Day will feature a ceremonial kick-off, team introductions, and the first set of matches, setting the tone for a season that blends healthy competition with shared purpose.
