The second season of the Global T20 Canada will be held in Brampton in July and August, after the organiser decided to host the event in a more central location. The inaugural edition of the tournament had been played at Kings City in June-July last year. The league will also add a sixth franchise team to replace the West Indies B side that had participated in last year's competition and finished runners-up.

Declaring that the city has the "biggest cricket fans in Canada", Brampton's mayor Patrick Brown said the City of Brampton had committed to more cricket infrastructure. "Currently two existing venues are getting lights and we are in discussions on the feasibility of a multi purpose complex that includes a cricket stadium." The grounds for the matches, which will be played between July 25 and August 11, have not yet been finalized.

The league is by the Bombay Sports Company Limited, formerly known as Mercuri Canada. The inaugural season was played between six teams, and featured international players like Steven Smith, Andre Russell, Anton Devcich, David Warner, Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga, and Sunil Narine. The first edition was won by Vancouver Knights, who were captained by Gayle.
