The are four teams namely Hawks, Leopards, Warthogs and Bulldogs respectively. In the first edition of this tournament was called “Nam Auto Car Windhoek Franchise T20” but has since changed to “Franchise T20”, the tournament was last held in 2017 in Windhoek. The tournament was considered to have been a great success by organisers and participants.
