One name keeps coming back in these LPL records: Jaffna Kings, who have won 3 of the 6 Lanka Premier League seasons in the data and hold the highest total, 242/2. The book covers 143 matches from Nov 2020 to Aug 2026.
Below you will find the winners list, team win-loss records, the career leaders for runs, wickets and sixes, and the best single performances. Team names appear exactly as recorded each season, so Jaffna Stallions and Jaffna Kings are listed as separate sides.
Lanka Premier League winners: how the titles fell
Jaffna Stallions won the first final in 2020/21, beating Galle Gladiators by 53 runs at Hambantota. Jaffna Kings then took 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2024, which makes them the only side with more than one title. B-Love Kandy broke the run in 2023, and Galle Gallants beat Jaffna Kings by 5 wickets in the 2026 final. No season is listed between 2024 and 2026.
Every final since 2022/23 has been played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Chasing sides won the last four of those finals, by margins from 2 wickets to 9 wickets, while the first two finals went to the team batting first.
In the win-loss table Jaffna Kings stand apart on volume: 32 wins from 51 matches, a 64.0 win rate. No other name has played more than 29 games, because the league’s team names have changed so often. Galle Gladiators won only 10 of their 29.
