Major League Cricket 2025: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and MLC 2025 live-streaming details

The 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season will launch from Friday, June 13 (IST) with a match between defending champions Washington Freedom and last year’s runners-up San Francisco Unicorns. As many as 34 matches will be played in the upcoming third edition of the tournament, with the first 30 of them constituting the opening round of the competition.

The top four sides at the end of the league stage will qualify for the playoffs. The two teams securing a top-two finish will advance into the first qualifier, and the teams finishing third and fourth on the six-team points table will face each other in the Eliminator.

Apart from Washington Freedom and San Francisco Unicorns, the remaining four competing franchises are Los Angeles Knight Riders, inaugural winners MI New York, Seattle Orcas and Texas Super Kings. All six teams will be facing each other twice in a double round-robin format.

The opening leg (nine matches) of the MLC 2025 season will be hosted by the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland. The action will subsequently shift to the Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie for the next 12 matches. The final nine matches of the league stage will be hosted by the Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill and the Grand Prairie Stadium will once again take centre stage for the four playoffs fixtures, including the final on July 14.

International T20 superstars like Sunil Narine (Los Angeles Knight Riders), Kieron Pollard (MI New York), Corey Anderson (San Francisco Unicorns), David Warner (Seattle Orcas), Faf du Plessis (Texas Super Kings) and Steve Smith (Washington Freedom) will be captaining the six franchises.

On that note, let’s take a look at the schedule, squads, match timings and other details regarding the MLC 2025 season:
