The '''Karnataka Premier League''' (KPL) is an Indian [[Twenty20 cricket]] league established by the [[Karnataka State Cricket Association]] (KSCA) in August 2009 and modelled after the [[Indian Premier League]] (IPL). As of April 2018, there are 8 teams competing in the league.

The first title sponsor of the KPL was [[Mantri Developers]], who paid 113,662,500.00 INR (US$1.5 Million) for 5 years.<ref>{{cite news|title=Mantri Developers to sponsor KPL|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/article5100.ece|access-date=24 December 2010|newspaper=The Hindu|date=18 August 2009}}</ref> Then KPL was inactive in 2011, 2012 and 2013. After a gap of 3 years, the third edition of Karnataka Premier League (KPL) commenced in Mysore on 28 August (Thursday). In 2014, [[Karbonn Mobiles]] won a 3-year title sponsorship for the KPL.
