Indore Knights, Vizag Titans, Chandigarh Champs, Nagpur Ninjas, Guwahati Avengers, and Patna Warriors are the six teams participating in LCT 2023. The league stage of the competition has ended. The four semifinalists in the tournament are Chandigarh Champs, Indore Knights, Vizag Titans, and Guwahati Avengers.

Both semifinal matches will take place today, while the final will be held tomorrow evening.
