The fast paced and increasingly popular 10-over competition was set to start from November 2020. However, after the last-minute relocation of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to the UAE due to the pandemic, it was decided to postpone the Abu Dhabi T10 to a later date. The IPL concludes on November 10. With the announcement of new dates, the Abu Dhabi T10 Tournament will commence in January 2021 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Eight world-class teams will compete in the tournament, with Abu Dhabi Cricket’s own Team Abu Dhabi making a return. This will be the tournament's fourth edition. Its popularity surged during the 2019 edition with over 124,000 spectators attending the Zayed Cricket Stadium and a global television audience of over 80 million.
