The Pakistan Super League is a sole entity where each of the franchises is controlled and owned by the investors.

The ownership of all the franchises was awarded by the management of the Pakistan Super League through a bid system. Around 20 different investors all over Pakistan participated in a bid to buy the rights of PSL franchises. All the initial 5 PSL franchises of the inaugural season were sold for a total price of 93 million US dollars on 3 December 2015 after the formal proposals from seven bidders.

PCB invited bids for the sixth PSL franchise in April 2017 and around 40 parties (national and international) showed their interest in purchasing the rights of the sixth PSL franchise.
