[1][2][3][4][5] In June 2023, Sri Lanka Cricket announced the launch of the league, with both men's and women's tournaments proposed.

The first season was scheduled to be played from 12 to 23 December 2023 in Colombo, but was postponed due to financial issues.

[6] [7] The first season of the men's league began on 12 December 2024 and was completed on 19 December 2024, with Hambantota Bangla Tigers defeating Jaffna Titans in the final at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.

Seven of the 21 group-stage matches were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to poor weather, with another three unable to be completed for the same reason.

Galle Marvels and Kandy Bolts, the only two other sides to win at least one match, finished third and fourth in the group and qualified for the playoff stage of the competition.
