# WCL Season 3 moves to UAE 2026-08-26T16:56:17+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The World Championship of Legends (WCL) will be held in the United Arab Emirates for its third season, the league announced on Tuesday. This is the first time the tournament will be staged in the UAE. Organisers said the decision to shift the venue was aimed at expanding the league's reach in the region. Further details on the schedule and participating teams are expected to be announced soon. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The move to the UAE gives the WCL access to world-class cricket infrastructure in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, venues that regularly host major ICC events and franchise leagues. For a league featuring retired international stars, the UAE's strong expatriate South Asian fan base offers a ready audience. The shift also follows the pattern of several T20 leagues choosing the UAE as a neutral venue during scheduling conflicts. The next item to watch is the player draft date and the list of confirmed legends, which will signal the league's pulling power in its third edition. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com Straightforward announcement with no slant or added commentary.
