CPL to SA20: List of all IPL franchise teams in the World

Kolkata Knight Riders became the first team in 2015 to initiate ownership of an overseas franchise by purchasing Trinbago Knight Riders in CPL.

Several Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise team owners have expanded their business ventures by purchasing team stakes from various franchise leagues worldwide. These leagues include the likes of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), South Africa’s SA20, the UAE’s International League T20 (ILT), and the USA’s Major League Cricket (MLC).

In 2015, Kolkata Knight Riders, co-owned by Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, initiated ownership of an overseas franchise by acquiring Trinbago Knight Riders in the CPL.

Apart from KKR, owners of IPL teams including Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants, Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and even Sunrisers Hyderabad also own franchises across other leagues.
