Dubai, UAE : BNW Developments, one of the UAE’s fastest-growing luxury real estate developers, has officially been named the Title Sponsor for Season 3 of the World Championship of Legends (WCL). Under this premier partnership, the tournament will officially be titled the BNW Developments World Championship of Legends (BNW Developments WCL), marking an iconic collaboration as the global T20 league makes its highly anticipated Middle East debut.
The announcement comes at a milestone juncture for the tournament. After two record-breaking seasons in the United Kingdom, which drew over 425 million viewers worldwide in Season 2 alone, the league moves to the UAE for its regional premiere. Matches will be played across world-class venues in Dubai and Sharjah from 3rd to 18th October 2026.
Season 3 boasts an elite roster of legendary players, including Yuvraj Singh, Shahid Afridi, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, David Warner, Moeen Ali, and Mahmudullah Riyad among others. The tournament also rekindles international cricket’s most storied rivalries, headlined by the marquee India Champions vs. Pakistan Champions clash, alongside fixtures featuring Australia, England, South Africa, the West Indies, and Bangladesh.
For BNW Developments, headlining the WCL unites strategic expansion with genuine sporting heritage. While the tournament offers an unparalleled global platform to present BNW’s vision and delivery milestones to international investors, the alliance is equally personal. It also mirrors an ethos deeply embedded in BNW’s DNA. Under the leadership of Founder and Chairman Dr. (CA) Ankur Aggarwal, the organisation established the BNW Legends Cup, a flagship intra-company cricket tournament founded on the principles of collective grit, sharp strategy, and mutual respect. Sponsoring WCL Season 3 elevates this enduring sporting tradition from a cherished company hallmark to an international arena, uniting BNW’s culture of excellence with cricket’s most celebrated icons.
The tournament provides an ideal international stage to bring BNW’s brand identity, Curators of Fine Living, to life. The company focuses on shaping holistic lifestyles defined by quality, purpose, and community. The World Championship of Legends celebrates iconic figures whose careers were built on discipline, craft, and lasting impact, mirroring the care and standards BNW brings to every address it builds.
Speaking on the partnership, Dr. (CA) Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman & Founder of BNW Developments, said:
“True legacy is defined by endurance. The athletes taking the field in the BNW Developments WCL represent the very values that anchor our brand: resilience, uncompromising precision, and performance of the highest calibre. This partnership represents a defining chapter in our journey as Curators of Fine Living, bringing our philosophy of passion, artistry, and elevated experiences to millions of homes and hearts worldwide. As the UAE cements its stature as the global epicentre for sports, culture, and visionary enterprise, championing this landmark tournament on our home turf is an extraordinary honour.”
Ajay Devgn, Co-Owner of World Championship of Legends, commented:
“With BNW coming on board for WCL 2026, we look forward to building a strong partnership and delivering an exciting tournament together. Featuring some of the biggest names in cricket, this promises to be our biggest and boldest season yet.”
Harshit Tomar, Founder & CEO of World Championship of Legends, added:
“Season 3 is about bringing the biggest rivalries and the biggest legends back together. Taking WCL to the UAE makes this season special, and having a home-grown brand like BNW Developers as our Title Sponsor makes it even stronger. BNW’s ambition and long-term vision match exactly where WCL is headed, and we can’t wait to deliver unforgettable cricket together.”
The BNW Developments World Championship of Legends promises an unmissable fortnight of world-class cricket, hospitality, and sporting heritage, uniting millions of fans across the UAE and worldwide from 3rd to 18th October.
