Every game will be live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.
Medical University Plovdiv are reigning champions from last season when playing under the name MU Dons.
Dons delivered a 5-3 win/loss record in the group stages, before coming on strong in the knockout phase with some serious hitting, especially in the Final.
Indo Bulgarian CC topped the group stage standings last season with a 6-2 record before coming unstuck in the final to the Dons. Indo Bulgarian will look to go one better this time around, led by Bulgaria national team captain Prakash Mishra.
Medical University Sofia won Bronze medal honours for third place, also bagging a 6-2 record in the group stages, before succumbing to eventual champions MU Dons in the semi-finals.
Barbarians finished bottom of the pile with just a solitary win in eight games but what a win that was with four native Bulgarian national team players in their ranks.
Medical University Pleven were formed in 2016 by medical students fascinated by the wonderful game of cricket. Alumni from different years continue to play for the University team. MU Pleven are making their ECS debut under the leadership of Akshay Harikumar, leading run scorer for PLE from the last couple of seasons.
