Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Round 3 Fixtures: 10 Matches From 15 November, 8 Free on Tapmad at 9:30 am

Pakistan's Test players miss this round. The second Test against Sri Lanka starts in Rawalpindi on 17 November, two days into Round 3.

Round 3 Gold fixtures and grounds

The Gold tier is the top division, with eight teams who each play the others once. All four Round 3 matches are in Rawalpindi, Abbottabad and Islamabad, and all four stream free on Tapmad.

Peshawar Blues are the side to watch. Mohammad Rizwan made 200 not out for them in Round 1, as our Round 1 day 2 report showed. They now face a Lahore Whites side without Babar Azam.

Round 3 Silver fixtures in Karachi and south Punjab

The Silver tier has 12 teams in two groups of six. Group A plays every match in Karachi, and Group B in Multan, Rahim Yar Khan and Bahawalpur.

The board said when it released the schedule that four of the six Silver matches in each round would be streamed. That matches the Tapmad listings for Round 3. The Silver winner is promoted to Gold for next season.

How to watch Round 3 free on Tapmad

Tapmad lists each Gold and Silver match on its home page with a start of 15 November at 9:30 am. The listings are marked free. Here is the quickest way in:

1. Open the Tapmad app or tapmad.com on Sunday morning.
2. Scroll to the "Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Gold 2026" or "Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Silver 2026" row.
3. Pick the match by team name. The listings use full names, such as "Lahore Region Whites vs Peshawar Region Blues".
4. Sign in if the app asks, then play. Come back to the same row on days two to four.

The board also named Tamasha as a streaming partner for Gold matches when it released the schedule. Our Round 2 streaming guide has more on both apps.

Test players miss Round 3

The second Test runs from 17 to 21 November at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Players in the Test squad are with the national team for it, so they are not available to their domestic sides this round.

That hits two Gold teams hardest. Lahore Whites are without Babar Azam. Karachi Blues are without captain Saud Shakeel, who made 93 and 97 in the first Test, and wicketkeeper Ghazi Ghori. Multan and Sialkot Blues also listed Test squad players as reserves, including Arafat Minhas and Azan Awais. Our Quaid-e-Azam Trophy squads page lists every team.

Round 4 starts on 21 November

Gold rounds start every six days. After Round 3, the next round runs from 21 to 24 November, and the Gold final is from 15 to 19 December.

Round 4 overlaps day five of the second Test on 21 November, so the Test players miss that round too. The full season is in our Quaid-e-Azam Trophy schedule.
