Jeeto Pakistan League

Main article: Jeeto Pakistan League

In the Ramadan season of 2020, the show's format was changed in light of the coronavirus pandemic and the studio audience was eliminated. Instead, a "league"-based format was introduced where teams representing five major cities would compete against each other, with each team led by a notable celebrity. New contestants would be drawn for each episode while maintaining social distancing, and the top two teams with most points would qualify for a final play-off. Members of the public would be able to participate in the show through live calls.[11]

In 2021, Multan Tigers was introduced as 6th team of Jeeto Pakistan League. Shoaib Malik was selected as the new team's captain. Sarfraz Ahmed was replaced by Aijaz Aslam as the captain of Quetta Knights team.

In 2022, Ushna Shah joined the league after replacing Humayun Saeed as Karachi lion’s captain. Sarfaraz Ahmed returned as the captain of Quetta knight and Aijaz Aslam was assigned a new team named Gujranwala Bulls.
