Major League Cricket, 2025

As the third season of Major League Cricket begins, there is a sense of anticipation and maturity around the tournament that has evolved into a genuine spectacle. From its modest debut in 2023, MLC has become a serious sporting attraction, drawing in crowds from coast to coast. With international players signing up in large numbers and domestic infrastructure continuing to grow, the league enters 2025 with both confidence and credibility.

This year’s edition promises even more intense competition as all six teams aim to go the distance. Washington Freedom, the defending champions, will look to retain their crown, while San Francisco Unicorns, narrowly beaten in the 2024 final, are determined to go one better. MI New York, winners in 2023, remain a formidable outfit with a balanced mix of firepower and finesse. Meanwhile, the Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings, and Los Angeles Knight Riders will be out to upset the old order and chase their maiden title.

Each team will play ten league matches in a double round-robin format. The top four at the end of the league stage will qualify for the playoffs. The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce.

Across the span of 34 matches, fans can expect thrilling finishes, emerging talents, and world-class performances. With prime-time scheduling, vibrant venues, and an expanding global audience, MLC 2025 is set to be the most watched and talked-about season yet.
