According to Cricinfo, the PCB discussed the possibility of a mid-year tournament at the PSL governing council meeting in September. The challenge will be finding a suitable window when overseas players are available. Notably, the PCB is considering a city- or region-based franchise competition.
"Nothing is finalised but there are some exciting plans, and one of them is a sixes tournament, called the HBL PSL Sixes, which will be in the off-season," Naseer said on a PSL podcast released ahead of the governing council meeting.
"We will look into the prospect of launching this tournament, and it will be very exciting, entertaining and engaging for the fans when it becomes a recurring feature," he said.
How the Hong Kong Sixes Format Works
The Hong Kong Sixes began in 1992 to promote cricket in markets where the sport has a smaller following. The ICC-sanctioned competition features six players per team, with each innings lasting five overs and matches typically running for around 45 minutes.
If a team loses five wickets, its final batter continues alone, with a dismissed teammate allowed to act only as a non-striking runner. These rules keep matches short and fast-paced, making the format suitable for a compact tournament with fewer players and simpler logistics.

The PCB has announced that the 2027 season will run from March 18 to May 2, overlapping with the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the third consecutive year. The Pakistan Super League governing council is expected to confirm the full fixture list, along with the dates and venue for the player auction.
Launched in 2016, the tournament initially took place in the United Arab Emirates before the PCB gradually brought matches to Pakistan. Since 2020, the tournament has been staged entirely in the country, with Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi serving as its four main venues.
