Identity and current edition
The World Championship of Legends (WCL) is a cricket competition built around branded “Champions” sides rather than current national teams. Its official website labels the current edition “Season 3” and dates it 3–18 October 2026, using UAE time for the match centre. The same page presents the event as six teams competing for one trophy.
The organiser’s currently displayed teams are India Champions, South Africa Champions, Australia Champions, England Champions, West Indies Champions and Bangladesh Champions. These are competition team labels; they should not be read as current senior national-team selections or as evidence of a complete playing squad.
Location and schedule context
The competition is hosted in the United Arab Emirates. On the working date, 11 October 2026, the official match centre lists Australia–West Indies and India–Bangladesh at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, with start times of 15:30 and 19:30 UAE time respectively. This is the strongest current source for the date-specific fixture location.
A Cricket World preview says the 2026 event uses Sharjah and Dubai and describes Dubai International Cricket Stadium as a venue for earlier/later league fixtures. Because the organiser’s live page is the current schedule authority and presents a changing match centre, venue and fixture details should be refreshed rather than treated as a permanent tournament map.

Format and editorial limits
The organiser confirms a season schedule, match centre and a single trophy, but the accessible homepage does not itself publish a complete regulations page or a definitive elimination formula. Cricket World reports a seven-team, single-round-robin model with semi-finals and a final; that conflicts with the organiser’s current six-team presentation, so this directory profile deliberately avoids encoding a definitive standings or qualification formula.
This is an editorial identity and context entry, not a statistical archive, live-results feed, or XI announcement. Current selections, withdrawals, replacements, points, results and broadcast/provider identifiers are omitted unless directly established by a refreshed authoritative source.
