MLC 2025 Full Guide: Fixtures, Teams, Venues, Timings & How to Watch

Major League Cricket (MLC) returns this summer with its third season. The 2025 edition kicks off on June 13 with defending champions Washington Freedom squaring off against the San Francisco Unicorns in the tournament-opener. The match will be played at the Oakland Coliseum in California.

The 2025 edition of Major League Cricket will once again feature six teams: Washington Freedom, San Francisco Unicorns, MI New York, Texas Super Kings, Los Angeles Knight Riders, and Seattle Orcas.

The matches will be split across three venues: Oakland in California, Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, and Central Broward Park in Florida. Between them, they will host 30 league-stage matches and four playoff fixtures.

The format stays familiar. Each team plays every other side twice, and the top four move into the playoffs. First and second on the table get two cracks at the final. Third and fourth go through the Eliminator path. The final is scheduled on July 13, and once again, the Grand Prairie Stadium will host it.

Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran, David Warner, Faf du Plessis, Heinrich Klaasen and Sunil Narine are a few of the high-profile names who will be seen in action.
