Multan Sultans (Saraiki, Urdu: ملتان سلطانز) is a Pakistani professional Twenty20 franchise cricket team representing the city of Multan in the Pakistan Super League. The team was founded in 2017 as an additional sixth team added to the PSL with contract payment of US$ 41.6 Million for eight season or US$ 5.2 Million per Season. Since the team was introduced in the Third Season of Pakistan Super League, the team's contract is for 8 seasons instead of 10. The team plays its home matches at Multan Cricket Stadium.
After their debut season, Schön Properties who bought the team in 2017, failed to pay their annual fee, and their contract was terminated; in December 2018, a consortium formed by Alamgir Khan Tareen, the majority shareholder, and Ali Khan Tareen became the new owners of the team. In 2021, Alamgir Khan Tareen took over as the sole owner. After the death of Alamgir Tareen in July 2023, Ali Tareen resumed ownership.
